What’s the word out there… 'Degree apprenticeships and degrees can be equal' Ben Hughes 30th May 2017 Degree apprenticeships are a genuine game changer. In this country, technical and vocational training has long been unfairly viewed as the poor relation of an academic education – at least by those who have had an academic education. …it could create an alternative corporate Russell Group. …a Rolls-Royce apprenticeship has long been held in similar esteem to an undergraduate degree course. Thanks to the levy, there will now be a whole host of such apprenticeships with leading companies, which also lead to a degree. In time, school leavers will see your Oxford or Cambridge degree and raise you an IBM or a BBC degree apprenticeship. 8 | Presentation title
