Apprenticeships at Herts, Olivia's story
Hear from one of our apprentices, Olivia, on her apprenticeship experienceWhy an apprenticeship?
As a Herts apprentice, you have the power to shape your future career from day one. Not only will you earn a competitive salary, but you will also gain hands-on experience and obtain a formal qualification in the process; and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way! And this will come at absolutely no cost to you as your apprenticeship training is covered by the universities levy.
How does it work?
You will first need to apply for an apprenticeship vacancy, completing the necessary application form. Once successful at interview, you will be employed at Herts like any other staff member here. If your role is fulltime, 37 hours per week, you will be given a minimum of six hours per week for your apprenticeship studies.
Your training will be provided by a recognised training provider that, depending on the level of apprenticeship, could be with a local college, a private education provider, or with the University of Hertfordshire itself. The learning you will gain from your apprenticeship will be embedded into your new role, enabling you to apply your newfound knowledge, skills, and behaviours in practice. You will also be appointed a workplace mentor as well as a line manager.
