With an Apprenticeship, you can earn while you’re learning and gain recognised qualifications as you work.
The world is changing fast. With fierce competition for jobs there’s never been a better time 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.
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. Anyone living in England, over 16 and not in full-time education can apply.
Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices’ ability and the industry sector. The minimum salary is £95 a week; however, many apprentices earn significantly more.
