Information for Parents and Guardians

Apprenticeships offer the opportunity for learners to gain a nationally recognised level of training.

The training that an apprentice receives will be practical, employment-related and includes on and off the job aspects.

Learn more about what an Apprenticeship is.

There are many benefits that your young person will enjoy when they become an apprentice. These include:

Hands-On Learning 

Apprenticeships offer practical, hands-on experience, allowing the young person to develop valuable skills that are relevant to their chosen career.

Paid to Train

Unlike traditional education, apprenticeships provide payment from day one. This can help your young person become financially independent and avoid large amounts of student loan debt.

Industry Connections

Apprenticeships involve working closely with experienced professionals. This allows your child to build a network of contacts within their chosen industry.

Nationally Recognised Qualifications

Upon completing an Apprenticeship, your child will receive a recognised qualification, which can enhance their career prospects.

Research

Encourage your child or young person to research various apprenticeship programmes and industries to find the right fit for their future.
