Degree-level apprenticeships guidelines for employers

Degree apprenticeships: What employers need to know

Brenden Mischewski

A practical guide to designing, delivering, and supporting degree apprenticeships in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Degree apprenticeships are a powerful way to connect learning and earning. They combine a recognised degree with meaningful, paid employment, providing learners with valuable skills, employers with workforce-ready talent, and Aotearoa New Zealand with a more resilient and equitable education system.

This toolkit has been developed to support all those involved in degree apprenticeships, and help make them a meaningful and successful experience.

Whether you’re an employer looking to grow your team or upskill your current staff, we’ve created this resource with you in mind.

Other guides in the toolkit provide enabling framework, and detailed guidance for learners and tertiary providers.
