Foundation Degrees
Foundation Degrees started a new chapter in higher education in 2001. These new Level 5 vocational degrees were designed with employers, for employers, revolutionizing professional development.
Foundation Degrees can help you grow your employees for your company's hard to fill vacancies. These degrees are industry-specific and help tackle the higher level skills gaps many companies are facing. Employees do not need to hold formal qualifications to be eligible for a Foundation Degree. In most cases, work experience will be taken into consideration.
The flexibility of the programme is also a bonus. Foundation Degrees are offered full-time or part-time, and can fit in or outside normal business hours. Therefore, employees do not have to choose between their studies or their job. Better still, the practical skills employees learn on the course can be immediately applied on the job, improving job performance and productivity almost instantly.
Higher Education is one of the most cost effective ways to develop your workforce. Employers can even access financial aid to support employees through a Foundation Degree. To find out more about Foundation Degrees at Knowsley Community College, speak to an advisor.
