Apprenticeships


Apprentices learn on the job, develop skills and knowledge and gain qualifications, whilst earning money

Apprenticeships logo

As employees, apprentices work alongside experienced staff to gain job specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day release basis, apprentices receive training with a local training provider such as a college.

They work towards a work based qualification such as a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) and other nationally recognised qualifications.

There are over 180 different career choices on offer in 80 different sectors.
