The Application Stage Matterse
Every year thousands of students apply for degree apprenticeships with leading organisations.
These opportunities are competitive, which means a clear, well-structured application really matters.
For many students, this is the first time they’ve had to present their skills, motivation and potential in a professional application.
Knowing what employers are looking for... and how to structure your answers clearly, can make a significant difference to how an application is received.
This toolkit is designed to help students approach the application stage with clarity, structure and confidence.

Hello, I'm Leanne...
I’m a Career Strategist with over 30 years of global corporate experience.
During my career, I’ve recruited and mentored degree apprentices, reviewed countless CVs, and understand exactly what employers are looking for when they review applications. I’ve seen first-hand how competitive these opportunities can be... and what helps a student stand out.
I also know this process from the other side.
Two of my daughters completed degree apprenticeships and graduated with first-class honours, so I’ve experienced the journey as both a parent and a recruiter.
Everything in this toolkit has been designed to give students the clarity, structure and confidence they need to present themselves well and approach the application stage properly.
My goal is simple: to help students approach competitive degree apprenticeship applications properly prepared and ready to stand out.
