As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Apprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16 years-old, whether you’re just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education.
The world is changing fast. With economic uncertainty and fierce competition for jobs, there’s never been a greater need to have marketable skills. But you don’t need to sit in a class all day to get them. With an Apprenticeship, you can earn while you’re learning and gain recognised qualifications as you work.
Apprenticeships are designed with the help of the employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes you through the skills you need to do a job well. There are targets and checks to make sure that your employer is supporting you and you’re making progress.
You might already be in work and looking to develop your skills through an Apprenticeship, or you might be unemployed and wanting to find a local employer to start an Apprenticeship with. Either way, contact us using our web enquiry form and we’ll give you a call to talk about how we can help you. |
