The event provides parliamentarians with an opportunity to meet and speak directly with apprentices, while also learning more about apprenticeship delivery in England.<\/p>\n<p>The University is expanding its apprenticeship offering further this year. South Bank Colleges, part of the LSBU Group of local educational institutions, will offer apprenticeships in engineering and healthcare, from September 2021. These apprenticeships will focus on delivering levels 2 and 3 to young applicants. As the sponsor University, LSBU\u2019s role will be to ensure these apprenticeships are high quality and meet the needs of both employers and apprentices;<\/p>\n<p>LSBU currently offers a variety of apprenticeships with employer sponsors, across a range of sectors &#8211; from building services, engineering and chartered planning to nursing, screen skills, rail engineering, technical acoustics and digital marketing.<\/p>\n<p>The University\u2019s top six apprenticeship categories in 2020 were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Surveying (Building and Quantity Surveying) \u2013 543 apprentices;<\/li>\n<li>Health and Social Care \u2013 484 apprentices (including 200 Nursing Associates);<\/li>\n<li>Building Services- 314 apprentices;<\/li>\n<li>Planning- 139 apprentices;<\/li>\n<li>Architecture \u2013 116 apprentices;<\/li>\n<li>Digital Marketing \u2013 49 apprentices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2020 LSBU introduced six construction standards at levels 4 and 6. LSBU became the first English university to launch levels 5 and 6 apprenticeships in Rail and Rail Systems Engineering, working with employers such as Network Rail, Transport for London, WSP and Siemens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lauren Smithers, 22 years old, currently a second-year (BA) Digital Marketing trainee in LSBU\u2019s Business School, on a Digital Marketer apprenticeship with Pearson Plc, said: <em>\u201cI was searching for jobs online and came across an apprenticeship. Once I started to look into it further, I knew it was the route for me as I struggled with being in education full-time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cI needed more hands-on experience, as I tend to learn best while doing something practical. I applied for the job online, then had a phone and face to face interview with a recruitment company, before an assessment day with the hiring company.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cDuring the lockdown, LSBU made themselves available to help out at all hours, which has been fantastic for me due to an increased workload. They work really closely with my employer to make sure I have everything I need to complete this apprenticeship successfully.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sammy Shummo, Group Director of Apprenticeships at LSBU, said: <em>\u201cIn spite of immense challenges posed to UK employers by the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit, LSBU has succeeded in holding onto a position in the top three higher education apprenticeship providers in England.
