Cambridge Digital and Technology Degree Apprenticeship: building digital tech talent for the future.
With over a million new recruits needed in the specialist digital workforce by 2023, 42% of employers are struggling to fill their digital vacancies.*
Cambridge is a global tech hub, home to more than 1,500 businesses that employ almost 55,000 people. But employers say that it's difficult to acquire, develop and retain specialist talent at the right level.
Degree apprenticeships, designed by employers for employers, offer a solution.
Degree apprenticeships work for me because they allow me to gain valuable professional experience and apply degree material to critical real world scenarios
I’m upskilling and improving my knowledge, which is beneficial to my employers, and personally, it’s giving me an insight in to which area of tech I want to go into
We've worked with local tech firms, including Aveva, Redgate, Cambridge Network and Nokia, to develop this degree apprenticeship. It's a Tech Industry Gold Degree, meaning it's been benchmarked against the Tech Partnership Degree Apprentice standard shaped by Cisco, IBM, Accenture, Thales, Fujitsu and other major employers.
