The October Higher and Degree apprenticeships listing 2024 is our biggest edition to date, featuring 2,300 vacancies from 75 leading employers!

The British Army, Morgan Stanley, Ford, British Airways, Nestlé, Coca Cola and the NHS are among leading companies listing apprenticeship vacancies, from Broadcast Engineer to Police Constable – there’s something for everyone.

The Higher and Degree Vacancy Listing is produced twice a year (October and January) by Amazing Apprenticeships, on behalf of the Apprenticeship Support and Knowledge for Schools and Colleges programme (ASK), funded by the Department for Education and managed by the Careers & Enterprise Company. The majority of vacancies are due to commence in 2025, however some employers have a rolling-recruitment model, meaning that they may have suitable opportunities that are available to start sooner.

The listing includes 12 separate opportunities with Amazon UK, 48 vacancies with Balfour Beatty, and a variety of opportunities with the BBC across data, media, accountancy and even a solicitor role. The British Army has listed seven roles nationwide and JLR opportunities cover 11 roles across the West Midlands. Transport for London have 21 separate vacancies and Unilever are recruiting for 14 separate positions across the country.

Anna Morrison, Founder of Amazing Apprenticeships commented “Publishing the listing at this time is crucial. Many young people are currently focused on finishing their university applications ahead of the January UCAS deadline. This listing provides a significant opportunity for them to broaden their options and explore apprenticeships as an alternative path.”

With many opportunities leading to a full Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, or degree-level qualification, higher and degree apprenticeships offer a fee-free way of continuing to study while both earning and gaining work experience.

With some positions now open for applications and others opening in the New Year, the Higher and Degree listing is live and available here.
