Hello and thanks for visiting the University of Oxford’s Apprenticeships blog.
We love Apprenticeships because they are the building blocks
of our future. The University of Oxford
are keen supporters of Apprenticeships, working in partnership with our local
training providers we give young people in the local community fantastic
opportunities to develop their career in a wide range of subjects.
Apprenticeships at the University are an attractive route
into a professional career, many of whom find themselves working as part of a
team conducting ground-breaking research.
Our apprenticeships are not just in the traditional technical and
engineering subjects, they are in the arts, humanities, medical sciences,
administration, HR, IT, social and digital media, marketing, plant
sciences and a whole host of other
subjects.
We are passionate about apprenticeships that offer the
chance to gain on the job work experience and skills and a salary at the same
time as gaining qualifications.
We see many benefits to having apprentices: they develop
pipeline talent and preserve knowledge and skills for the future, they provide
training tailored to the department giving the confidence of having competent
professionals for the next generation, they bring vitality, fresh perspective
and new ideas, they develop mentoring skills in existing staff, and they
support the community by giving young people the opportunity to reach their
potential and make a fantastic start to their future.
If you are interested in supporting apprentices at the
University of Oxford please get in touch with Clive Shepherd, Apprenticeship
Manager at clive.shepherd@admin.ox.ac.uk
