Higher and degree apprenticeships are becoming an increasingly important way of employers addressing their skills gaps by attracting new talent and developing the skills of existing employees. The Open University offers a range of higher and degree apprenticeships in a number of sectors. Employers are already benefitting from our flexible learning model and long heritage of providing work-based learning over the past 50 years.
