The role of Apprentice Coach plays a crucial part in enabling student learning in the workplace and building meaningful links between apprentices, employers and the academic community. Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate occupational competency in one or more of the areas above (as defined by the relevant IFATE standard), a good knowledge of Degree and Higher Apprenticeships and be able to contribute to the package of support provided to apprentice students.
