TEC Partnership Secures Over £90,000 in Degree Apprenticeship Funding

TEC Partnership is delighted to announce that it has been awarded £91,501 as part of the third wave of degree apprenticeship funding from the Office for Students (OfS).

This strategic investment will significantly boost the development of Level 6 degree apprenticeships at TEC Partnership’s institutions, including University Centre Grimsby, East Riding College, and Skegness TEC, for the 2025-26 academic year onwards.

The funding will enable TEC Partnership to expand its apprenticeship provision, offering two new, industry-aligned courses in social work and retail leadership that cater to the needs of local employers. It is estimated that 90+ new learners will be attracted to the new standards between 2025/26 and 2026/27. These programmes will help ensure that students not only gain academic qualifications but also acquire the practical, real-world skills demanded by today’s job market.

Ann Hardy, CEO of the TEC Partnership, said:

“We are incredibly proud to receive this funding, which will allow us to strengthen our degree apprenticeship programmes. The investment will help create new learning pathways, ensuring our students benefit from the best of both worlds – quality education and hands-on experience.

“As a key player in local workforce development, TEC Partnership is committed to preparing our students for rewarding careers while supporting the growth of industries that are vital to the Humber region.”

The grant is part of a £14 million funding competition launched by the OfS to expand degree apprenticeships across the country. The third wave of funding specifically aims to increase opportunities for students, particularly those with a disability and those from the most deprived geographic areas, to combine academic study with work-based learning.

By enhancing its degree apprenticeship offerings, TEC Partnership aims to continue serving as a vital link between local businesses and education, helping to address skills shortages and foster economic growth across the East Coast and beyond.
