Apprenticeships at the University
An apprenticeship is a job accompanied by training that meets an approved national standard (monitored by the Institute for Apprenticeships) and can be offered to existing employees as well as to new starters. This article for staff explores the development of apprenticeship opportunities at the University of Cambridge.
Further information about apprenticeships offered at the University can be found on the dedicated apprenticeship webpages or by contacting the apprenticeships team in PPD on apprenticeships@admin.cam.ac.uk.
