MICRO FOCUS LAUNCHES DEGREE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME WITH UCN

University Centre Newbury (UCN) are delighted to confirm a long-term collaboration with Micro Focus, one of the world’s

largest enterprise software providers, delivering the missioncritical software that keeps the digital world running. Headquartered in Newbury, the company has launched its paid degree apprenticeship programme whereby it will hire 10 new general business recruits – and fund their training over four years at UCN. The recruits

will graduate with a Chartered Manager degree.

Apprenticeships combine onthe-job training and experience with study towards a

nationally recognised qualification. In these new roles, recruits will work with the Micro Focus team to develop skills and understanding of the business. They will also receive training at UCN to gain a deeper understanding of business practices and work towards the Chartered Manager degree qualification that will support their career development.

What makes this an outstanding opportunity is that Micro Focus will ensure that their apprentices gain working experience across a range of departments in the organisation such as finance, marketing and HR,

enabling a strong link between the theory and practical application of the course.

Recruits will have the opportunity to build their career development while making a positive difference in their communities by taking part in the Micro Focus ‘Make a Difference’ volunteer program, where they can take up to four days a year to volunteer for

causes and charities of their choosing.

These roles would suit anyone looking to build a career in commercial areas such as business administration, finance, HR or marketing. Individuals who have a passion to make a difference, and an eye for detail, can demonstrate initiative and are looking for a challenge, apply now bit.ly/MFCMDA.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop a career in a future thinking business and achieve your degree locally.
