What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a real job with built-in training and a salary from day one. It’s a practical way to earn a nationally recogonised qualification, while gaining hands-on experience in a real work environment.
Instead of choosing between college and work, apprentices do both. They spend most of their week learning on the job and the rest studying with an approved provider. At the end they graduate job-ready, experienced and often debt free.
Apprenticeships are available across 70+ industries, from construction and IT, to healthcare, engineering and recruitment.
