Exiting news from SRG that's going to change how companies deal with talent pipelines!

SRG’s ESG strategy is underpinned by our passion and commitment to building a better world through the power of work. Drawing on our many years of experience across workforce planning and the proven success of degree apprenticeships in our sister brands, SRG is committed to creating better social mobility across the scientific community. While Life Sciences is an exciting world of innovation and scientific breakthroughs, it is vital that we create alternative and non-traditional routes for talent to drive diversity and inclusion across our industry. Level 3 - Degree Apprenticeships offers an ideal solution for everyone; the student, the educational provider, and the employer collectively supported by SRG to ensure success for all.

I have personally worked directly within the life science apprenticeship space, even as a Vocational Skill Coach training the scientists. From my direct exprience, the calibre of apprentice that comes through this system is not something to be overlooked, and there is a reason why more and more companies are looking towards this avenue of talent pipelines.

Benefits of using Degree Apprenticeships via SRG
