ENSURING that education is not interrupted by COVID restrictions, online apprenticeships teaching is in full swing at the University of West London (UWL) ahead of National Apprenticeship Week on February 8.

UWL works with more than 100 employers each year to train and upskill hundreds of degree apprentices in digital industries, construction, business and healthcare – helping employees progress with tailored skills in their industry and helping young people get a foot on the career ladder.

Despite lockdown, growing numbers are now signing up for the training schemes for this year, as courses move online to ensure learning is not halted and UWL can continue to help employers attract talent in Ealing and West London as a whole.
