'Earn as you Learn' on a Degree Apprenticeship

Degree apprenticeships are not just an alternative to going to university, they provide sixth form school-leavers with an equivalent work-based route to graduate employment. Degree apprentices earn a salary throughout their apprenticeship and all their university tuition fees are paid-for by their employer. Degree apprenticeships lead to an undergraduate degree or a professional qualification and are available in a wide range of sectors, including engineering, accounting, law, business & management, banking & finance, and technology.

This competition is open to anyone aged 16-18

First prize is £7,500 educational grant

Opportunity to take part in an in-person experience

Overview:
When we think of sustainability, we often think of our environment, our resources, and our planet. But with the launch of satellites in space on the rise, it's time to take sustainability further than ever before - from the space around us to the space above us.

Could you be part of the solution?

Viasat is a global satellite communications company operating in space, and, in this unique competition, they are looking for you to develop ideas to help space stay sustainable, safe, and equitable. Powered by Viasat, in partnership with Springpod, you'll explore what it takes to address sustainability in space, and, if successful, you could even pitch your idea to the professionals themselves.
What's Included:
Designed to be completed individually or in groups of up to three, the Viasat Beyond: Space competition invites you to complete a series of projects across three phases.

With a range of fantastic prizes on offer, from an invitation to the Viasat Sustainable Space Experience Week to an Education Grant, now's the time to take your idea to new heights.

So, what do you need to do? Learn more about each competition project by clicking on Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3.

You can also explore what else you'll learn in Phase 1 by clicking on 'Meet Viasat', 'Sustainability in Space' and 'Project Set-Up'.

Ready to get started? Apply now to enter the competition!

In Phase 1, you'll learn more about Viasat before exploring the concept of sustainability in space in more detail. You'll then access your very first project brief, complete with a Q&A from the Viasat team, giving you the chance to ask your questions to the experts themselves!

In your first project you'll respond to two questions around the competition theme of sustainability in space.

If successful, you'll move onto Phase 2.

In Phase 2, you'll create and submit a digital entry, which expands on your ideas submitted in Phase 1. You can choose to submit your work in a range of formats, such as (but not limited to) a video, audio, or presentation.

If successful, you'll move onto Phase 3.

In the final, you'll be invited to an all-expenses paid trip to London where you'll meet space technology experts and present your final project to a panel of judges. You'll be assigned two mentors to coach you through this stage of the competition and to help you craft and refine your presentation.

Viasat is a global satellite communications company operating in space - but what does this really mean? What does Viasat do? In this module you'll gain insight into Viasat as an organisation. From satellite launches and keeping the world connected to being at the forefront of space innovation, you'll understand Viasat a lot better by the end of this module.

What is sustainability in space? What is its link to sustainability on Earth? Why is it important to address this? In this module you'll get answers to these questions, learning more about sustainability in space, some of the fundamental issues to address, and potential solutions.

Having learnt about sustainability in space in Module 2, in this 'Project Set-Up' module you'll receive your brief for the first project in the competition, complete with a Q&A from the Viasat team.

RH Commercial Vehicles have delivered the first Renault E-Tech 18 tonne curtain sided truck to Mitchells of Mansfield.

Over the past year, the company has been taking steps toward reducing and offsetting its carbon emissions. New goals have been set to achieve this by 2023, they aim to offset 25% of their carbon, 50% by 2024 and 100% of their carbon by 2026. The addition of the Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide will significantly help these aims.

Richard Montgomery, Managing Director, commented, "Progression and positive change is a cornerstone of the business. We are doing just that by investing in the latest equipment like the Renault Trucks E-Tech vehicle.

"Our decisions on technology and equipment are based on the reduction of our environmental impact. We want to set the benchmark for the palletised market, by dipping our toes in electromobility, we can prove we are a sustainable business built on trust, sincerity, and responsibility."

The Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide is the ideal vehicle for urban deliveries and its zero tailpipe emissions qualify it to operate in cities that are reducing their CO2 emissions and improving air quality. Their low noise output also makes them perfect for these areas.

It is fitted with four battery packs which provide 66kW of energy each and the truck is equipped with an onboard AC charger and is compatible with DC fast charging. This allows fast charging of the vehicle to maximise its daily operational range.

The vehicle set out on its maiden voyage on Monday 27th Feb 2023.

About Specsavers apprenticeships

Apprenticeship FAQs: for parents, teachers and guardians

At Specsavers, we're proud of our apprenticeship programme, kickstarting the careers of talented people across the country, and we welcome apprentices of all ages. They're a great choice for young people at the start of their career looking to earn and learn in a role that makes a difference, as well as those looking for a career change. If you know someone who'd excel in helping our customers both in store, or in their homes, read on and encourage them to apply.

Specsavers apprenticeships

What are the different types of apprenticeships available?

We offer four diverse positions, three of which are delivered by our internal teams and one is delivered by our partnered universities. Click through to each page to read more details about each role.

Day in the life of a Specsavers apprentice

What's on offer, and what are the career opportunities?

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, each apprentice will have a nationally-recognised qualification (see each apprenticeship opportunity for more details). The completion of this apprenticeship will also show their commitment to their learning and although now qualified in a specific role, it also opens the door to many more opportunities within Specsavers.

The training doesn't stop there. Developing our people is something that happens ongoing. Check out our routes into audiology and optometry and you'll see that an apprenticeship could be the first step toward working as a dispensing optician or a hearing aid dispenser. If leadership interests them, there is an opportunity to go down the management and in-store trainer route, or even becoming a partner , where they can share ownership of a local Specsavers business. So whatever the path, they will be supported to get there.

The Government Economic Service Degree Apprenticeship is a unique opportunity to work on important issues our country faces, whilst studying an economics degree

Documents

Details

The Government Economic Service (GES) Degree Apprenticeship Programme opens for applications on Monday 19 December 2022 at midday, closing at 11.55am on Tuesday 14 February 2023

Please join us for a pre-launch Webinair on 7th December 2022.

In partnership with Amazing Apprenticeships we will be holding a GES Degree Apprenticeships Programme 2023 Webinair on 7 December 2022 at 15.30pm.

To register for the event please sign up at GESDAP Webinar Registration

What is the Government Economic Service Degree Apprenticeship Programme (GESDAP)?

The GESDAP is an opportunity to work in a central government department or agency on some of the most important social, environmental and economic issues our country faces - while studying for a degree in economics with the University of Kent.

Shape a career that fits you! This programme allows you to figure out which area of Economics you love! Economics is a broad subject that can be applied across so many sectors. Your degree and practical experience will help you understand all of the opportunities that are open to economists.

It's also an opportunity to work in an inclusive and social environment. We want everyone in the Government Economic Service ( GES) to feel comfortable to come to work as themselves. We have a culture that supports all, no matter their background or ambitions. You will have the opportunity to be part of a fun community, with many social events and plenty of chances to make friends with both students and other colleagues.

Why Economics?

It teaches you the skills to make well informed decisions and solve problems

It is always relevant as it looks at the world around us

Extremely varied and leads to a wide range of careers, such as journalism, analysis and policy advisory

It is one of the highest paid professions

What do your current Apprentice Economists have to say on the GESDAP?
Study with the University of Kent

University of Kent was selected to deliver the programme because of the strength of their economics courses and the support they offer to apprentices throughout the programme. This will be delivered via blended learning, a mixture of distance and face to face learning, so there is no need to travel to the University regularly. On successful completion, you will gain an economics degree and four years' experience of working in the Civil Service setting you up to build a brilliant career as an economist.

Entry Requirements

Minimum of five GCSE (including Maths at grade B (6) or above and English Language at C (4) or above) or equivalent

Minimum of 96 UCAS points under the 2017 tariff point system (e.g. CCC at A Level or equivalent qualifications, not including General Studies)

We don't expect you to have studied economics previously but we are keen to know what interests you now

You can check how many UCAS points you have by using the UCAS Tariff Calculator at https://www.ucas.com/ucas/tariff-calculator

Individuals will also need to demonstrate that they have resided in the UK for at least the previous 3 years before the start of the apprenticeship, meet the relevant immigration requirements and their eligibility under the Civil Service Nationality Rules ( CSNRs). Nationality requirements are explained in more detail on the Civil Service nationality rules webpage.

Where will you work?

A range of central government departments and agencies will provide apprenticeship placements through the programme - which will offer students a starting salary of about £21k in London and a minimum of £18k nationally. The GESDAP has vacancies in London and nationwide.

What's Right For You?

Employers all know the value in employing young talent for the future of their business - but what's right for you? Whether a big business, small and family run, or a central Government department in Whitehall, your experience and skills development will be designed to meet your needs and theirs.

As an employee, you should think about where you'd like to work. There are a number of factors to consider. Some are practical. Where are they based? How much do they pay? Others may focus on things like size of the organization, its culture and future opportunities to go places, move up the ladder - or both. Give it careful thought and make the right choice, for you.

New challenge, new career, new life

"As an apprentice in the NHS, you do feel you're supported. I've never felt so looked after. I couldn't just go and do a nursing degree, so the apprenticeship gave me that opportunity to get my foot in the door."

My mum found my apprenticeship and I've never looked back

"Being an apprentice has been the best time of my life, I've been able to do things that I'm passionate about. I've been able to meet so many different people. I've built up my confidence. It's been the best experience it could have been."

Earn and learn straight from school

"I found the confidence I needed to take the apprenticeship, because I knew theatre is what I loved and where I wanted to be.There's never really a typical day. There's always different working hours and different people, which is my favourite part of it."

Valuable hands-on experience

"I wasn't a hundred percent sure what I wanted to do after 6th form. Then, my mum showed me an ad in the local paper for an apprenticeship. I want to be earning six figures by the time I'm thirty. And that's the beauty of starting young, it's all possible."
