// Morrisons says apprentice offers across retail, finance and logistics to be guaranteed, regardless of their results
// Follows news that students faced uncertainty of grades in BTEC results
Morrisons has confirmed that all of its offers submitted to students looking to join their degree apprenticeships this year are guaranteed, regardless of their results.
The Big 4 supermarket had submitted offers to 46 degree apprentices across different areas in the business – such as retail, logistics, corporate and manufacturing – where they will study part-time at either Bradford or Sheffield Hallam University while working at Morrisons.

Students across the UK have faced uncertainty over how grades were going to be rewarded and BTEC results were delayed until this week.
Four students who applied for the Morrisons apprenticeship scheme had not received the required entry grades.
However, the Big 4 grocer said they would still be granted a space on their courses through Bradford University.
“It’s been a difficult year for students,” Morrisons senior people manager Alison Guest said.
“We will not go back on our offers to students looking to join our degree apprentice scheme – even if an applicant has not reached the desired requirements – and will support those preparing for a management career with us in food manufacturing and retailing.”
Morrisons said it would welcome 62 new graduates to the company next week, including 13 engineering apprentices joining from school and others following their university years.
