About this Event

Find out how we are enabling employers to access new talent and the essential IT and cyber skills businesses need. Discover our brand new Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship starting this September and our full suite of specialist accredited programmes.

Our event will be hosted by Julie Tegg, Director of Apprenticeships and Employer Training, and Myra Billinghurst, Business Development Manager at Gloucestershire College.

This virtual event will include:

  • The launch of our brand NEW Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship – Starting in September 2021, our latest degree apprenticeship can bring essential skills into your business for today and the future. Find out more from our expert team.
  • Discover our full suite of specialist IT and Cyber apprenticeships – From Level 3 to Degree, our Infrastructure, Software, Network Engineering, Digital Solutions and Cyber apprenticeships bridge the skills gap to provide quality, industry standard development for not only new recruits but current employees too.
  • The benefits of apprenticeships for businesses – Proven to increase productivity, employee retention and motivation as well as building talent pipelines and skillsets, the benefits of IT and Cyber apprenticeships are endless.
  • Overcoming barriers and blockers – Not even a global pandemic can stop our apprentices from learning. Hundreds of new apprentices and employers have joined us at Gloucestershire College during the pandemic to start their apprenticeships. Find out how we support our employers and apprentices as we dispel some of the myths around apprentices from recruitment to mentoring, funding, recruitment and how apprenticeships fit alongside remote working.
  • Live Q&A session – Thinking about hiring an apprentice for your business? Would you like to maximise the benefits of apprenticeships for your current staff? Get your questions answered by our expert team.
  • Funding information – There is a lot of financial support available to businesses. Our team can help you to make the most of it.
  • Next steps – If you are ready to recruit an apprentice or you want to upskill an existing member of staff through one of our IT or Cyber apprenticeships, we will tell you the next steps and how we will support you.

Open to all

This virtual event is open to all employers, managers, HR managers, recruitment teams and employees who are looking to advance their IT or Cyber career and upskill.
