Apprenticeships at Oxford Brookes University
Apprenticeships
Oxford Brookes is an employer of great staff and is passionate about a great staff experience. Apprenticeships are an important way to expand our skills-base and support staff in their professional development whilst they work.
The new levy means we have extra funds to support apprentices at Oxford Brookes: we invite you to consider having apprentices in your teams.
APPRENTICESHIPS are jobs with training built into them. They have to last for a minimum of a year, offer a serious training experience and are NOW open to:
- anyone over 16 who is employed and a resident
- new recruits AND existing staff members in mainstream or specialist roles
- any colleague keen for professional development at ALL levels and grades
- any colleague even if they are already qualified, even at degree level and even if the programme selected is at a lower level than your current qualifications
- funding requests from the Oxford Brookes levy and therefore free to you and your team
APPRENTICES are colleagues who agree to:
- a learning contract that describes clearly what programme they will study and how we will support them
- a period of workbased learning that helps develop or improve role-based skills
- an end of programme assessment, to demonstrate what they have learned and how they meet the relevant apprenticeship standard in their occupation
MANAGERS and INDIVIDUALS consider Apprenticeships when:
Apprenticeships come at all levels and are not just for beginners. HR/OCSLD will consult with you on all aspects of apprentice set-up.
