Developing Science Professionals
•
•
•
•
•
A professional development programme for
laboratory, scientific and technical employees up
to graduate level.
Delivery through a new Higher Apprenticeship
for Life Sciences & Chemical Science
Professionals.
Pathways for life sciences, chemical science,
food science, healthcare science, process
development and packaging development.
Supports professional recognition as registered
science technician or registered scientist.
An alternative work based training route to the
traditional academic route to graduate status.
Why Science Professionals?
•
•
•
Demand is rising for technicians in a broad range of sectors.
Scientific and technical skills are essential to delivering growth in the UK in the 21st
Century.
Science professionals provide a unique transferable and increasingly sought after skill
set.
Science Council report identifies:
• 155,240 primary science workers with level 3 & 4 qualifications employed in 2009/10.
• 35,000 of laboratory, scientific and technical employees are aged 16 -29.
• 31% of the total population of primary science workers are aged over 50.
There is a need to invest in the pipeline of professionally recognised competent technicians
in order to secure the scientific skills pipeline of the future.

Key features of the Higher Apprenticeship:
• An opportunity to earn whilst learning and avoid the costs of a full time undergraduate
programme.
• A real job that allows them to gain real work experience from day one and build a
credible CV.
• Higher Apprentices are focussed individuals with a commitment to developing practical
skills alongside the high level academic knowledge needed for challenging technical
roles in hi-tech industries.
• Apprentices can remain in the role they have entered or have the opportunity to
progress within the company, gaining further experience and qualifications as they
develop.
• Higher Apprenticeship is not just for the academic high flyers, it’s for those who have a
genuine interest in developing practical scientific skills.
• Working alongside other science professionals and gaining the qualifications and
competence that leads to professional status as a Registered Science Technician or
Registered Scientist.

Delivering the Higher Apprenticeship for Life
Sciences & Chemical Science Professionals
It is different to most apprenticeships:
•
It’s about high-level skills for new or existing workforce, aged 19+.
•
Opportunity for HEI/FE partnerships.
•
HEFCE funded HE qualifications.
•
Tuition fees can be funded through a Student Loan.
•
Sits outside SFA funding requirements.
•
Supported by NAS vacancy matching service, national award schemes, national
promotion of higher apprenticeships.
•
It’s a COMMERCIAL OFFER.
