Abstract

This study investigates the influence of higher education
apprenticeship on the mental health and wellbeing (MHW) of
apprentices.
- This stems from the little attention that the area has received
globally, and from the findings of Umeokafor et al. (2020) that
highlights a relationship between the features of higher
education apprenticeship and MHW indicators.
- They struggle to balance domestic, work and school
responsibilities and employers are unable to fulfil some of
their obligations (Chankseliani and Relly 2015).
- The study follows on from Umeokafor at al. (2020) which
shows that the delivery features of apprenticeship courses
influence apprentices’ mental health and wellbeing. However,
the insight in this regard is limited.
