Apprenticeships are a great way to get hands-on experience and learn the tricks of the trade, and it’s no different for accountancy.
With more employers looking to offer apprenticeships as a way to develop and enhance their workforce, it’s the perfect time to ensure that you’re offering apprenticeships as a study route for your students. Plus, accounting apprenticeships will bolster your offering to students of all ages.
Adding accounting apprenticeships to your existing course portfolio will enable you to reach out to those students who are looking to stay in education while also gain the valuable hands-on experience a vocational qualification offers.
Offering apprenticeships enables you to support and upskill individuals within your local community.
