Preparing people for working in the real world: Apprenticeships at UON

During National Apprenticeship Week 2025, University of Northampton officially announced several new apprentice programmes planned to start very soon.Simon Longhurst, our Apprenticeships Manager, and academics leading on two of the new apprenticeships – Lisa Slaughter for Project Management and Dr Kardi Somerfield for Digital Marketing – sat down for a chat about these new additions. They talk about the modules their programmes will include, the support apprentices received – even down to their mental health and wellbeing – who the right apprentices are and professional accreditation and memberships that are part of their programme plans.You can find out more about Apprenticeships at UON on our website and email the team if you have any questions: [email protected]
