What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is your path to a paid job where you can earn a wage whilst you’re training, giving you invaluable industry experience. 

You will get hands-on experience in a sector you choose with a paid employment placement. You will be entitled to employee benefits such as holiday leave.  

Who is an Apprenticeship for?

Apprenticeships offer a paid work opportunity for individuals who are: 

  • Early in their career 
  • Seeking to upskill within their current job 
  • Exploring a career change. 

There are different levels of Apprenticeship schemes to suit your needs, meaning whatever your goals, we have an Apprenticeship that is right for you.
