themis-case-study.jpg

Themis is the apprenticeship and professional business training arm of Burnley College.

Working with North West employers, the team is moulding future leaders, with the dynamism and determination to transform businesses and identifying training and development needs, to take them to the next level.

Expert training and university-level programmes are delivered by industry professionals with years of experience in their specialist fields in state-of-the-art, industry-standard facilities in the very heart of East Lancashire, within easy reach of all transport networks.

Case study: Chantelle Lighting

Highly-skilled leaders can make a real difference to your business, bringing the very latest industry expertise, energy and enthusiasm to bear.

Themis at Burnley College can take your dedicated apprentices to the next level with a range of specialist university-level qualifications - from HNCs and HNDs to full BA and BSc Honours degrees.

Meet Lauren Holly, general manager at Chantelle Lighting, who is making a real difference in business right now as she completes her BA (Hons) in Chartered Management with Themis.

As part of her degree apprenticeship, she spends one day a week in lectures at the University Courses Burnley hub at Burnley College, working on real-life business problems she encounters within the workplace.

Her university level programme includes: building practical business management expertise alongside interpersonal, ethical and leadership skills; detailed understanding of how organisations function and are managed; evaluating organisations and how management decisions are taken; and developing her own portfolio of work.

Lauren said: “I’ve always performed best when I’m able to apply what I’ve learned to real-life situations and events. A degree apprenticeship suits me as I can combine work-based learning with my degree studies and bring my new-found knowledge from the classroom back to the business and see a real difference.”

The impact of degree apprentices is felt industry-wide and draws the media spotlight to Lancashire. Jake Duthie, of Pipeline Induction Heat Ltd, is the latest winner of the prestigious Lancashire Business View Sub 36 Award. As a degree apprentice he has travelled the world working on key engineering projects and has recently graduated with a First Class BEng (Hons) degree with the highest ever marks recorded on his course.
