Steve Hill, Vice-Chancellor and CEO of Walbrook Institute London, said
”The UK Government’s Young People and Work review shows the importance of career-focused learning and vocational qualifications.
While there will always be a place for traditional universities and the research they carry out, this review shows that it isn’t the only, or best, option for everyone. With the average undergraduate debt now starting at over £50,000, young people and their parents are increasingly looking for higher education or professional qualifications that offer a return on their investment with clear career pathways.
Alternative education models can contribute to widening participation and supporting economic growth. At Walbrook, we’ve built on our history in financial services and banking education and now offer career-focused online and on-campus Masters programmes, apprenticeships with degree and diploma qualifications as well as our professional qualifications. These not only help students manage costs but also cater to learners at various stages of their careers.
Career-focused qualifications, and study that fits around work or life, can be the solution to two major challenges: helping young people to get into and stay in paid employment and increasing the pool of skilled professionals our economy needs.”
