 here has been a steady growing interest in alternative pathways to full-time degree courses and more students are applying for apprenticeships or sponsored degrees. These opportunities can offer young people progression opportunities to degree level and beyond. Many students are now recognising the importance of work-related learning in today's competitive economy. The college has a Careers Adviser and Employer Links Co-ordinator, who specifically works with employers and training providers to find apprenticeship opportunities for Winstanley students and support them through the recruitment and selection processes. Despite this pathway being very competitive with applicants often going through rigorous recruitment and selection processes, the number of students now entering professions via this route is increasing year on year.
