Apprenticeships

Apprentices earn a wage in a job and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, you will receive training to acquire the knowledge to underpin practical work-base skills and work towards nationally recognised vocational qualifications. Apprenticeships can improve an organisations productivity, performance and profitability, and are an effective means of filling skills gaps in the current and future workforce.

Apprenticeships normally take one to two years to complete depending on the level of study, your ability and the industry sector.

We offer a range of Apprenticeship frameworks which are applicable to a wide range of industries. We work with employers to create Apprenticeship programmes which allow employees to quickly progress within their field on the job, through our supported Apprenticeship programme.

Do you qualify?

In order to undertake an Apprenticeship, you will need to have a job with a contract of employment for at least 30 hours per week or have a firm offer of employment within your chosen occupational area. If you don’t have a job and are looking for vacancies, log onto the National Apprenticeship Service website: www.apprenticeships.org.uk and register your details. Alternatively, we may be able to support you in finding an Apprenticeship placement. We have some fantastic opportunities with great employers.
