This story follows a degree apprentice at Ada College, sharing what it is really like to combine classroom learning with real-world work.
The Degree Apprentice Experience at Ada College
Story Video
Background
Goal
Degree apprentices learn theory in classes and lectures, then put it into practice in their workplace. Something covered one day can appear in real time the next, through a control or an escalation at work, which brings a fresh perspective to the team.
Journey
The apprentice's standout moment was meeting the rest of the cohort for the first time. Degree apprentices don't always have many peers around them day to day, so getting to know people from all over the country was a real highlight.
Outcome
The apprentice has recommended apprenticeships to many friends and others. Beyond avoiding student debt and earning while studying, they value the experience itself and say they really enjoyed it.
