Apprenticeships and Careers Service

The University of Wolverhampton’s Careers Service is committed to inclusivity, accessibility, and to supporting all our students, irrespective of their course, level of study, campus, full-time, part-time, online or whether they are UK or International.

We are fully aware that our apprenticeships will require an impartial, sensitive, and bespoke service based around self-development, goals-setting, leadership, promoting one-self, and managing a career with an employer.

Our adherence, obligation and commitment to apprenticeships is literally written into a service-level agreement between apprenticeship course leaders and our Careers Consultants.

We sincerely hope that all our apprenticeships utilise the following resources and find them useful in their career journey:

Enterprise and Intrapreneurship

Alongside employability, the University of Wolverhampton is very keen to ensure that our students, including apprenticeships become enterprising, creative, commercially aware, innovative, and adaptable.

To be enterprising is to keep your mind and eyes open, undertake research before acting; as well as being prepared and resourceful as a student and an employee.

The term intrapreneurship refers to a system that allows employees to take direct responsibility to turn ideas into profitable products, services, and businesses.

For more information and support to develop your skills in enterprise and intrapreneurship you can contact our Enterprise team: Enterprise@wlv.ac.uk
