The introduction of the Degree-Level Apprenticeship marks a first for the local area - with Blackburn College being first in Pennine Lancashire to offer a Lancaster University awarded Degree -Level Apprenticeship meaning the qualification has the backing of a UK Top 10 University.
The new programme has been developed with leading organisations including: CAPITA, the Ministry of Defence, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, The Senator Group and Forbes Solictiors.
“The collaboration between industry and education is important and having an employer’s perspective in the design of the programme allows the skills needs of our region and the economy to be considered.”
“Degree Level Apprenticeships are part of a wider Government initiative to support and enable the development of skills in the workplace as well as offer a greater variety of Higher Education options to students.
