Thirty-two colleges and universities have won a slice of a £14 million pot to grow and improve their degree apprenticeships.
The Office for Students (OfS) has announced the results of the second wave of funding from its £40 million degree apprenticeships expansion fund. Announced in September, the funding is designed to address “market failures” in the provider base and equality of access.
Projects funded through the scheme have to increase the number of students on level 6 degree apprenticeships and “increase equality of opportunity for students into and during” the apprenticeships, the OfS said.
This comes on top of £12 million awarded in January from the first wave of bids.
