Hey, how doing ? Degree apprenticeships are a type of program offered by some universities which combine working with studying part-time at a university.
Well, before searching for a part time, I would recommend you to find the connection between your study subject and the work you are planning to do. For Example, You are planning to study music in college. In case you get a part time job in music, you can try out your lessons in the job field and can help yourself improve in a better way. When you play newly learned lessons you do impress the people around you as well as you gain a good exposure to the music field. It will help you improve your stage fear if any and gain you experience on what the public is looking for.
Similarily, when you study and work together in the fields associated with the subject of study, you can earn learn, understand, the subject well and also can find a great opportunity to work with experienced professionals , who can help you improve and modify your skills based on present industrial scenario. Some Companies do consider apprentice certificates valid as short term experience too.
Majority of the companies will have conference meetings (in group). These are conducted in order to understand your contribution to the company and your learning strategy. There will be 2+ trainers to teach you and gives you an opportunity to assist them. Also some companies do have evaluations at the end of the apprentice to check, how much you could grasp and learn from the apprenticeship. If your performance is good and have notably good character, acceptable as per company regulations, Soon after your college you will receive offer letter from the company to work under them as Apprentice Staff. It depends totally upon your performance and skills.
Obviously it will be useful and will be having more importance not in studies but in industrial level needs according to the subject you study.
From my background, I am from India. While pursuing my graduation in instrumentation, I signed for an apprenticeship / inplant training with a refinery. When I graduated, I was well aware about industrial needs and standards, helping me to crack the job interviews immediately and got absorbed to the same company where i did my apprenticeship. So, i would brief it up like, it is a part of training given for graduates along with studies. So after studies, since you are already trained, they just absorb you in.
Hope you could understand me.
