The University of West London (UWL) is ranked the best modern* university (non-specialist) in London in the Complete University Guide 2023.

The Department – The Apprenticeship Office 

UWL is a sector leader in the provision of degree apprenticeships, with over 6 years’ experience in the delivery of specialist degree level apprenticeship programmes. The apprenticeship portfolio covers computing, engineering, healthcare, built environment, business and leadership and other apprenticeships are in development. UWL is on the register of Approved Training providers and is also approved End Point Assessment Organisation for many of the apprenticeship standards we offer.

The Apprenticeship Office is a central professional service that manages the recruitment, onboarding, support, monitoring, and compliance of the apprenticeship provision. 

The office has successfully grown the apprentice offer in UWL with over 24-degree apprenticeships – 17 approved standards at degree level, and within these there are a further seven specialist pathways. As the range of apprenticeships, we offer has expanded, so have the numbers of apprentices and employers who engage with us.

A significant part of the Apprenticeship Office’s role is to work with and support employers -we work with over 230 large corporates and SME’s. Another key role of the office is to work with the Schools and Colleges in the university to provide the required continual monitoring of apprentice’s engagement to ensure funding compliance and external regulatory body requirements.

In recent years, Ofsted rated our Apprenticeship provision as ‘Good’ in all areas with an overall judgement of ‘Good’. The University was particularly commended for our effective partnerships with employers, responsiveness to local employment needs and enabling learners to develop in the workplace. 

The Director of Apprenticeships has recently been awarded National Apprenticeship Champion for the London Region.

The Role 

The Apprenticeships Outreach and Business Development Coordinator will be responsible for assisting with the planning and delivery of a range of interventions and events to increase awareness of Degree Apprenticeships, with both applicants and employers.
