Testimonials

University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust

“I think Higher and Degree Apprenticeships will benefit organisations like the NHS greatly. The ability to develop your own staff and provide them with opportunities to develop not only improves their morale, but improves retention, productivity, and achieves an output desirable for all.”

Finlay Hollingworth, Deputy Service Manager - Blood Sciences Department, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

“Â鶹´«Ã½ is a wonderful university, the course is excellently provided, the university has a strong reputation in business, and I would strongly recommend anyone who’s working in the private sector or public sector to undertake this course, as it will give them the necessary skills to be able to develop and become better business leaders.”

Rajesh Thakror, Team Leader - Blood Sciences Department, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

Mattioli Woods plc

“It’s great to be able to offer such a fantastic opportunity to hard working young people to get a foot on the career ladder of our fast paced and forward thinking locally based plc business, as well as gaining a degree qualification without the associated costs and student loans.

Their energy and dynamism spurred on by their learning through the course brings fresh ideas and a real dedication to our business. I’m especially looking forward to their final year when, as part of their End Point Assessment, they will have to embark on a project within the business to bring about change and efficiency.

Personally I gain a great deal of satisfaction seeing individuals grow and blossom within our business, and this is especially true of our two trail blazers on the degree apprenticeship program.”

Fiona Treadwell, Talent and Development Business Partner, Mattioli Woods plc

BT

“I’m delighted that our will receive an academic qualification that has been designed specifically around our needs as a business.

Together with Tech Partnership and a consortium of employers, we have created an apprentice framework that meets the needs of cyber security organisations, and Â鶹´«Ã½ have created an academic programme that will develop these young people and launch them into fulfilling and inspiring careers. I am excited at the prospect of seeing our apprentices develop their skills at Â鶹´«Ã½.”

Rob Partridge, Head of BT’s Security Academy

KFC

“KFC and Â鶹´«Ã½ have been in partnership with the Business Management Degree Programme for five years now, so when we were approached about the Degree Apprenticeship we could clearly see the benefits of being part of this pilot programme so naturally jumped on board.

Over the past year we’ve seen exactly what we expected  - a new, young group of talented employees grow professionally and personally.

Nearly half of our employees have been promoted since the induction of this programme and we’ve seen engagement rise across the whole cohort.

The CMDA has changed the way that they look at their impact through other people and through the business. Working and earning a degree simultaneously is no small task, and they are reaping big rewards as a result.”

Dylan Hannigan, Education Programme Manager, KFC UK and Ireland
