During National Apprenticeship Week 2026, the University of Sunderland is hosting a series of online information events showcasing their full range of higher and degree apprenticeships. Some of the sessions will focus on Engineering, Digital, and Leadership apprenticeship programmes – designed for employers and professionals looking to upskill teams, build capability, or develop future talent.
The events will provide practical insight into programme content, delivery models, and how apprenticeships align with evolving industry and workforce needs. Attendees will also learn how apprenticeships can support productivity, innovation, and long-term skills development.
The University works in close partnership with more than 150 employers across engineering, manufacturing, digital, health, education, public services, and the wider economy, currently supporting over 900 apprentices across 30+ industry-designed pathways.
EMN members may be particularly interested in apprenticeships across Digital & Technology, Engineering, and Leadership & Management.
