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
