Develop the expertise your company needs with higher and degree apprenticeships at Teesside University

Investing in leadership and management is something that no business should ignore if they want to achieve long-term success. Good leadership and management engages staff, builds loyalty and increases organisational performance.

At Teesside University, we understand the positive impact of great leadership, which is why we have worked with employers to develop the prestigious Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA).

Enrolling now for May 2017, the apprenticeship awards learners the BA (Hons) Management Practice along with membership of the Chartered Management Institute – the highest possible accreditation in the management profession.

The CMDA is open to both aspiring and existing managers. Apprentices gain technical knowledge and practical experience by combining on-the-job training with flexible study towards a higher education qualification.

Dr Keith Hurst, associate dean at Teesside University Business School says, ‘The CMDA is industry-driven and aligned to the requirements of the professional body. It combines excellent business education, work-based learning and professional development to support the growth of graduate level managers, for now and the future.’

The CMDA offers significant benefits for employers and their staff:

• excellent business education and up-to-date professional development
• on-the-job training combined with an honours degree
• a standard developed with employers, for employers
• Chartered Manager status – the highest in the management profession
• the opportunity to attract new talent and to upskill your existing workforce.

What are higher and degree apprenticeships?

Higher and degree apprenticeships are a government initiative aimed at helping employers develop the talent and skills of new and existing staff, in the workplace. They combine on-the-job training with study for a higher education qualification. It means employees study whilst they are working - and there is no age restriction.

At Teesside University, we’re working directly with employers, building on our strong track record of partnership with business and industry to deliver the skills and expertise your company needs.

Apprenticeship Levy – how will it affect your business?

From 6 April 2017, government funding for apprenticeships in England is changing. Employers with an annual wage bill of over £3m will contribute to a levy, and can access payments for apprenticeships through a digital account. Non-levy payers will get a 90% contribution to the cost of apprenticeship training and assessment.
