apprentices can learn from some of the world’s best researchers, while benefiting from our close relationships with significant industry partners, and from the varied perspectives of their peers from other organisations. This collaborative approach to generating ideas and dedicated time to focus, means they can contribute to finding innovative solutions to key challenges facing your organisation. Business challenges will always be present, which is why we will work closely with you to identify contextualised skills and training solutions that meet your ever-changing business environment. We create an individualised learning plan for all our apprentices, which involves the apprentice undertaking an individual project that adds value where you need it. <br>  <br>We pride ourselves on building a close relationship between teachers, degree apprentices and employers, and hold regular review meetings between line manager, apprentice, and the apprentice tutor from their department. These are an opportunity to discuss progress, and to ensure the apprentice is developing skills and understanding that are relevant skills to their working role. <br> <hr class="invisible"> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-horizontal "> <a href="university_of_warwick_-_degree_apprenticeships_employers_guide.pdf" class="btn btn-brand ">Download Employer's Guide to Degree Apprenticeships <i class="far fa-file-pdf icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="https://your.warwick.ac.uk/form/degreeapprenticeshipsenquiries?_gl=1*17sk5tz*_ga*MzQ3MzYzNjc1LjE2NzgzNjU2Njk.*_ga_P1ZYEBRM0C*MTcwNzIxMjU4Mi4zNi4xLjE3MDcyMTg3NTkuNjAuMC4w" class="btn btn-brand ">Enquiry form <i class="fab fa-wpforms icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-vertical buttons-component-full-width"> <a href="#benefits" class="btn btn-brand ">Benefits of hiring an apprentice <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#structure" class="btn btn-brand ">Apprenticeship Structure <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#flexible" class="btn btn-brand ">Flexible Apprenticeships <i class="fas fa-chevron-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#funding" class="btn btn-brand ">Funding an apprentice <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#help" class="btn btn-brand ">Helping you to hire an Apprentice <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#stories" class="btn btn-brand ">Employer Stories <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="#faqs" class="btn btn-brand ">FAQ's <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a><a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/study/degree-apprenticeships/employers/subcontracting/" class="btn btn-brand ">Apprenticeship Subcontracting Policy</a><a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/study/degree-apprenticeships/employers/aptem/" class="btn btn-brand ">APTEM</a> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--1"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--2"> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--8"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box5"> <h2 class="text-center"><a id="benefits"></a>Benefits of hiring an apprentice</h2> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div style="position: relative; top: 25%; text-align: center;"> <p><i class="fas fa-trophy-alt fa-7x"></i></p> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--8"> <ul> <li>Address skills gaps</li> <li>Attract new talent</li> <li>Upskill your workforce</li> <li>Increase productivity</li> <li>Improve staff retention</li> <li>Enhance innovation</li> </ul> <div class="buttons-component buttons-component-vertical buttons-component-align-centre buttons-component-full-width"> <a href="../courses/" class="btn btn-default ">Our Degree Apprenticeship courses <i class="fas fa-info-circle icon-end" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout-col layout-col--2"> </div> </div> <hr> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--6"> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box2"> <h3><strong><a id="flexible"></a>Flexible apprenticeships</strong></h3> <div class="image-component relative-width-6 pull-right margin-full"> <picture> <img src="070323wu-239.jpg" alt="" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> <p>Warwick have contributed to two new manuals, co-authored by Industry and Government, to set out how flexibilities in apprenticeships can be used and delivered in construction and health and social care, to meet the needs of employers and apprentices.<br>Some employers are already making use of apprenticeship flexibilities and are seeing the benefits of this, in workforce satisfaction, productivity, and improved value for money.</p> <p><strong>Construction</strong> - our <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/degree_apprenticeships/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Civil and Infrastructure Engineering degree apprenticeship</strong></a> offers block release training, giving apprentices concentrated periods to focus on academic learning and extended periods in the workplace to put new knowledge and skills into practice.

Levy payments can be used to upskill existing staff or recruit new talent and there is no upper age limit.</p> <p>If you are an employer in England with an annual payroll over £3 million you will pay 0.5 percent on anything over £3 million into the Apprenticeship Levy.</p> <p>The UK Government provide an annual levy allowance of £15,000 as well as a 10 percent monthly top-up on the funds you pay in, meaning you can get out more than you pay in.The levy is paid to HMRC and the funds are held in the employers Digital Apprenticeship Service account. For more information see the governments guidance.</p> <p><b>Funding without the Apprenticeship Levy </b></p> <p>If your annual payroll is less than £3 million you will not pay the Apprenticeship Levy but are still eligible for funding.</p> <p>You will pay 5 percent towards the cost of training with the government funding 95 percent. There is a limit of 10 apprenticeship starts per financial year and you must reserve this funding through your Digital Apprenticeship Service account. For more information see the governments guidance.</p> <p><b>Apprenticeship Levy Transfers</b></p> <p>Employers that pay the levy can transfer their unused apprenticeship funds to help other organisations pay for apprenticeship training. For further details on how to do this please visit the governments guidance.</p> <p>If you would like to receive a transfer from another employer, you can search for funding opportunities here.</p> <p><b>Additional Government Support</b></p> <p>To support the creation of high-quality apprenticeships the Government can offer incentive payments for employers who hire new apprentices. Contact our Apprenticeships Team to check the incentives currently available and if your company is eligible.</p> <p>For more information visit the <strong><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/education-and-skills-funding-agency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Skills Funding Agency guidance<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a></strong>.</p> <div class="image-component relative-width-12 margin-full"> <picture> <img src="060323wu-81-a.jpg" alt="" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box2"> <h3><b><a id="structure"></a>Apprenticeship structure</b></h3> <div class="image-component relative-width-6 pull-right margin-full"> <picture> <img src="080323wu-309.jpg" alt="" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> <p>Generally, Level 6 degree apprenticeships last between three and five years and Level 7 degree apprenticeships lasts two to three years. The length varies depending on the course.</p> <p>Apprentices spend 80 percent of their time learning on-the job and the remaining 20 percent training off-the-job studying towards their degree.</p> <p><b>On-the-job learning</b></p> <p>As apprentices are in full-time employment, most of their training takes place in the workplace. The 80 percent of their time learning on-the-job covers the job specific tasks that the apprentice would complete during their regular working hours.</p> <p><b>Off-the-job training</b></p> <p>Off-the-job training is defined as learning undertaken outside of an apprentice’s normal working environment, this can include training delivered at the apprentice’s normal place of work but must not be delivered as part of their normal working duties. Off-the-job training must equate to a minimum of 20 percent of the apprentice’s total working hours.</p> <p>Studies will usually take place through either day release or block release a week at time spread throughout the year, depending on the course. Apprentices will also study using our Virtual Learning Environment meaning they can learn from their home, office or further afield at a time that suits them.</p> </div> <div class="container-component boxstyle_ box0"> <h2 class="text-center"><strong><a id="stories"></a>Employer stories</strong></h2> </div> <div class="layout-row layout-row--nowrap"> <div class="layout-col layout-col--4"> <div class="image-component relative-width-12 margin-full"> <picture> <img src="j.murphy_and_sons_limited_logo.png" alt="" class="img-content"> </picture> </div> <div class="container-component container-component boxstyle_ box2 overlay-box-md"> <p><em>"My experience working with Warwick university has been first class to date.
