About this event

Develop advanced scientific expertise in your organisation – with fully funded training!

Join us online to explore how the Level 7 Research Scientist Apprenticeship, can help you strengthen your research capability and build a pipeline of highly skilled talent.

Whether you want to upskill existing staff or bring in new recruits, this programme offers apprentices the chance to gain a master’s-level qualification while applying their knowledge directly in the workplace.

Due to recent funding changes and high demand, we are opening a second cohort starting in December, giving employers and aspiring research scientists another opportunity to start before the new rules take effect.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How this apprenticeship can help you attract or develop research talent
  • The programme’s structure, content, and delivery approach
  • How to use Apprenticeship Levy funding to cover the full cost
  • Entry requirements, application process, and key start dates
  • Insights from programme leaders and apprenticeship specialists in a live Q&A

Why now?

From January, government funding for apprenticeships will change. This may be the final chance for employers to access fully funded training for new starters aged 22+. Acting now means you can secure a place in the December cohort and benefit from current funding.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this event for?

Any business who is interested in hiring a research scientist apprentice or upskilling staff, plus those who are interested in either becoming an apprentice themselves.
