Degree apprenticeships
A degree apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to earn a wage whilst studying for a degree apprenticeship. You will spend most of your working week at work and at least 20% of your time in off-the-job study or training. Whether it’s social care, education, transport or strategic planning, our focus is on improving lives. We want to ensure every pound spent in the county delivers better outcomes for our residents, communities and businesses.
