RSC Apprenticeship Policy
Summary of contents
Our Apprenticeship Vision
Apprenticeships are a vital route into the chemical sciences, offering people the chance to earn while they learn and giving employers the opportunity to shape the skilled workforce they need. We believe apprenticeships should have the same status as academic routes, be recognised for their quality, and provide clear pathways to rewarding scientific careers. Our vision is a system that is consistent across the UK, easy to navigate, and supported by high-quality training and respected qualifications. In our policy statement, we set out how governments, employers and training providers can work together to achieve this 鈥� and how we will champion excellence in chemical science apprenticeships.
From advocating for stable policy and better STEM provision, to supporting employers and recognising apprentice achievements, we are committed to building a stronger, more inclusive skills pipeline.
