Degree apprenticeships: What tertiary education providers need to know
Brenden Mischewski
A practical guide to designing, delivering, and supporting degree apprenticeships in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Degree apprenticeships are a powerful way to connect learning and earning. They combine a recognised degree with meaningful, paid employment, providing learners with valuable skills, employers with workforce-ready talent, and Aotearoa New Zealand with a more resilient and equitable education system.
This toolkit has been developed to support all those involved in degree apprenticeships, and help make them a meaningful and successful experience.
Other guides in the toolkit provide enabling framework, and detailed guidance for employers and tertiary providers.
