Events

Join our Employers' Business Breakfast to find out how Higher and Degree Apprenticeship programmes offered at Newcastle University can enhance leadership and digital skills in your organisation and develop skills for life.

What to expect at the event

Rene Koglbauer, our Dean of Lifelong Learning will open the session discussing the importance of apprenticeships in upskilling your employees. 

Find out about the apprenticeship programmes we currently offer, and ways to co-develop apprenticeships that would be beneficial to your sector, from our Apprenticeships Manager Sonia Dutton. 

Hear from employers, including Newcastle Building Society, Northumbrian Water Group,  RWE Renewables Management and Nebula Labs, on the impact our apprenticeship programmes have had on their staff and businesses in a round table discussion and Q&A. 

There will also be the opportunity to network over a coffee and a light breakfast. 

Network at our industry marketplace

After the presentations, our marketplace event will give you the chance to:

Talk to our apprenticeship programme leaders about course content and assess which programme might be the right fit for your employees. Speak to programme leaders from:

• Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager Apprenticeship 
• Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeships 
• Level 7 MSc Digital & Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship

Network with current apprentices and their employers and chat about their experiences on our apprenticeship programmes.
