#degreeapprenticeship — Public Fediverse posts

For the past 2 years I've been working, with academic colleagues, to develop a #DispensingOptician #DegreeApprenticeship.

It's been a bureaucratically complex task that required getting IfATE (now Skills England) to edit the drafted 'standard' and bring the General Optical Council (GOC) in as an EQA.

Last week we had notice from the GOC that we have passed 'stage 3' of their approval process and can start recruiting learners / employers for a September start.

#OpticiansUK get in touch!

#TheOneBroadband, can I help (in the longer run)? I've got a #DegreeApprenticeship #Training programme in #Software or #Networking available as well as #DataAnalyst and #DataScience programmes, perhaps we can talk about getting some additional skills capacity in to your workforce?

The three phrases that Jonathan Murphy associates with #portfolio work are: create reflective learners, creating your community of practice, and showcasing your skill set. You can find them throughout his interview in all that he said about using portfolios with the #DegreeApprenticeship students at Griffith College. Listen in your podcast app to learn more how he also weaves #UniversalDesignForLearning (#UDL) and self-directed learning into the programme for the students.

'Take control of your own learning' is the motto of Jonathan Murphy at Griffith College when he talks to his #DegreeApprenticeship students, but it goes for everyone. You don't have to wait for anyone to tell you what to learn. Pick what interests you and run with it. Listen to his interview on our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' that you can listen to in your favourite podcast app or at https://podcast.mahara.org

The #portfolio is a great tool to bring all learning together in one place, make connections, and develop transferable skills. Jonathan Murphy from Griffith College illustrates that in his interview for our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' drawing on examples from his #DegreeApprenticeship students and how he and his team scaffold the portfolio tasks so that the students get into that deeper learning.

#GenerativeAI is part of the fabric of education now. Derrin Kent from TDM shows a way of incorporating it meaningfully into a lesson and then using the #portfolio to reflect on that learning experience. Listen to his entire interview for 'Create. Share. Engage.' in which he talks about the #DegreeApprenticeship in the UK in your podcast app.

Learning evidence and the #reflection on it are key components of the #DegreeApprenticeship process that Derrin Kent at The Development Manager advocates and has been advocating for years. Listen to his entire interview for more insight how the #portfolio supports learners on our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' at https://podcast.mahara.org

New podcast episode alert: Derrin Kent from The Development Manager is back to talk about why degree apprenticeships benefit from the #portfolio. He outlines what the #DegreeApprenticeship is and why it is an excellent alternative for students. He then talks about the impact of the portfolio on the learning processes and for developing the #ReflectivePractitioner.

One of my favourite things is seeing new #DegreeApprenticeship #Vacancies going live.

This is an absolute corker of an opportunity for someone to train as a #LaboratoryScientist with the wonderful #SouceBioscience in #CambridgeUK doing cutting edge #Science #DrugDevelopment and #Genomics

Check it out!

Wrapping up the week on a high, with another fantastic #apprenticeship opportunity, based in Woolpit #Suffolk.

BUUK Infrastructure are offering a facinating looking role, spanning #policy, #compliance and #projectmanagement, all whilst working towards a #CharteredManagementInstitute acredited #CharteredManager #DegreeApprenticeship qualification.

I can see this one getting taken down early as it's an absolute smasher of a post, so get in on it while you can!

I'm absolutely delighted to be able to announce that our friends at https://www.domainex.co.uk/ will be sharing tips, insights and lessons about how they have successfully kicked-off their #apprenticeship journey, with the Anglia Ruskin University #LaboratoryScientist #degreeapprenticeship programme, at an event on our #Cambridge campus on Weds 27th March 2024.

Big funding score from #OfS to support our ongoing mission to be among the biggest and best in the #DegreeApprenticeship space.

And, what's more, is that for #DrugDiscovery firms #CRO #FoodScience #BioTechnology and other organisations testing and developing work in the #biology space we also have a #LaboratoryScientist #DegreeApprenticeship.

This means we can help you train people across your organisation, from the up-front 'wet' lab work, through #DataAnalysis all the way on to #Marketing and #management

I've mentioned our, recently updated, #Bioinformatics #DegreeApprenticeship (for #ComputationalBiology peeps) a couple of times lately, but,did you know we also offer a 'Full-Spectrum' #DataScience pathway too?

I want to speak with people who want to train their staff using generous #apprenticeship #funding

But I also want someone to tell me a better way to describe the non-bioinformatics version of the course! (general, generic, standard etc al sound wrong)!

https://www.aru.ac.uk/study/degree-apprenticeships/employer/our-courses/data-scientist-employer-information

I'm looking for some help connecting with #UK based #Bioinformatics and #ComputationalBiology people who are looking to ensure they have the solid pipeline of talent required to drive their organisations onwards. I want to speak with folk about our incredible Bioinformatics #DataScience #DegreeApprenticeship, if this video looks interesting to you, we should be in contact.

I've still got a pretty limited network here with this acct so boosts are appreciated!

I was very pleased to be asked to contribute an article to this week’s FE Week on the changes to student loans happening this year.
