This does look interesting, but there's already degree apprentices out there doing essentially this in various employers, with an accredited degree at the end of the process.

We have a couple working in our office, and I've been hugely impressed by them

As someone currently doing a very similar kind of thing(gap year working for company + part sponsorship through uni), I don't know why more companies don't do this - We're incredibly cost effective for the work we actually provide, even if its just doing work that noone else wants to.
