19 Lisa Hutchinson I didn t consider University after A-Levels because I knew higher education wasn t for me. I wanted to do something that would allow me to develop business skills, get my qualification and have hands on experience whilst earning a wage at the same time. The apprenticeship has given me confidence, I ve developed my skills and learned how to be more efficient and manage my time. I ve taken on a lot more responsibility and made some lifelong work relationships and friendships. Unilever has a great development culture; there are training schemes, seminars and so many senior people to learn from. It s a great way to get hands on experience and further your career!

20 Father & son, Jim & Josh Carew Josh has quickly developed into a confident and committed young man who knows his destiny is in his own hands. A Unilever apprenticeship is truly a strong alternative to university to provide a solid foundation for future professional development and employment. The company has a solid approach to mentoring their youngsters during their early career, giving parents or guardians an added level of comfort that their youngster is in safe hands!

28 EY Apprenticeship Strategy

29 The back story In previous years EY chose not to adopt an Apprenticeship model for the following reasons: We felt it was inappropriate to take Government Funding in times of austerity for students we would hire and train anyway Onerous vocational and administrative requirements, including regulation by Ofsted We wanted to retain greater flexibility to create our own school leaver programme, without restrictions or minimum requirements A negative brand perception of apprenticeships by our target students

30 What has changed Government Goals and Policy EY & Wider World Apprenticeships designed by employers to achieve a more attractive proposition (through Trailblazer committees) Apprenticeships to be available across all sectors, at all levels, including degree and masters level Perception of Apprenticeships Widening Access, Diversity and Inclusion Funding requirements passed to end user the employer via an Apprenticeship Levy Schools held to account for the numbers of students going into apprenticeships Digital Disruption Exit from the EU

31 Apprenticeship Programmes Our EY Proposition

32 The EY Apprenticeship proposition Change our existing programmes EY Business Apprenticeship: Introduced for 2017 intake Graduate Apprenticeship : Consider for the future New introductions Degree Apprenticeship programme: Potential for trainees to obtain degree whilst completing EY apprenticeship e.g. Digital industry apprenticeships Other Apprenticeship Programmes: Opportunities for apprenticeships to be offered to trainees and current employees not eligible for our traditional school leaver or graduate programmes

33 Questions to consider Will tomorrow s leaders all have degrees? Will you stop learning when you start earning? Is a head start sometimes the best start? Do good things always come to those who wait? How can planning today take you further tomorrow? How far can you go without a degree?
