Those who are committed to securing a career that will quite literally take them places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The students will study with the University of Hertfordshire and receive 25-days on campus learning days to help complete assignments and projects.\u00a0 Enjoying all of the benefits of being a student including access to all social and sports facilities and the library and learning resources, the students will be part of one of the UK\u2019s leading Universities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Julie Newlan, the University of Hertfordshire\u2019s Pro-Vice Chancellor (Business and International Development)<\/strong> said, \u201cAs a leading business facing University, the University of Hertfordshire is particularly proud of our strong business partnerships and our 60-year history of offering flexible, industry-focused courses to our business partners.\u00a0 In 1941 we first started partnering with industry to train 15 and 16 year old aircraft apprentices for the de Havilland Aircraft Company and our degree apprenticeship with TUI is a perfect example of how we still work collaboratively to create courses that are shaped by the needs of modern business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want all of our students to leave us with the perfect skills for the workplace and working with industry leaders such as TUI is one way we ensure that the training we develop delivers those skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TUI has a strong heritage of recruiting apprentices.\u00a0 Since the year 2000, more than 5,500 apprenticeships have been offered by TUI in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>This new opportunity is available to anybody who meets the qualifying criteria* and although it\u2019s thought most people applying will be those finishing their A-Levels, TUI is also hoping to receive applications from people of any age and background who may want a change of career or who didn\u2019t study for a Degree and would like to \u2018back-fill\u2019 their education whilst continuing to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caroline Kitcher, HR Director at TUI UK and Ireland<\/strong> said: \u201cThe benefits of having people from different backgrounds in the workplace are second to none.\u00a0 From a fresh pair of eyes on a problem, to a different perspective on a project, the learning experience is absolutely two-way.\u00a0 We\u2019re hoping to learn as much from our Management Degree apprentices as they learn from us.\u00a0 I\u2019m thrilled to be launching our new Degree-level apprenticeship as we look to recruit and train the future of our business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Applications are open from 4<sup>th<\/sup> December 2017 and close on 31<sup>st<\/sup> January 2018 with information for prospective students available at <a
