Webinar series explores apprenticeship programmes designed to upskill employees
Aston University has launched a series of apprenticeship webinars, offering an opportunity to explore a range of degree programmes designed to upskill employees while they work.
Each session outlines the programme structure, application process, and benefits for both apprentices and employers.
The sessions are ideal for people interested in digital marketing, accounting and finance, technology solutions, or other professional pathways.
The webinars will also explain how Aston’s apprenticeships combine academic learning with practical experience to support career growth and organisational development.
Applications must be made through an employer, who partners with the university to support the apprentice throughout their studies.
Iman Bhatti (pictured), programme manager of Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship said: "Before my apprenticeship, I rarely took on active team roles or leadership positions due to the lack of confidence and the misconceptions I had about being a leader.
“Having been an apprentice, I've stepped outside my comfort zone and took on positions that challenge me.
“My apprenticeship has allowed me take on leadership roles in various scenarios, ranging from career initiatives to leading technical client projects.
“I've had the opportunity to work closely with managers and observe various leadership positions. This exposure has provided me with valuable insights into what it takes to be an effective leader."
