Description

Continuing to provide employer-focused programmes that address skill shortages in the North East region will provide a sustainable future for degree apprenticeships delivery by Teesside University. We have consistently worked with employers and place a great deal of importance in building these relationships, having partnerships with more than 110 employers on our apprenticeship programmes alone.

By summer 2019 the University will be on target for the delivery of 500 apprenticeship programmes with plans to increase to 2000 by 2020. To manage this and maintain regulatory and funding body compliance, the University is now seeking to purchase an apprenticeship management and e-portfolio system.

We require an online system for use by the Higher Degree Apprenticeship (HDA) University team, apprentices, and employers that will enhance the apprentice and employer experience, facilitating their engagement in mandatory apprenticeship activities and managing and reporting on their apprenticeship learning programme elements.
