Apprenticeship Training
Becoming an Apprentice
Connecting you with the right career
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a real job with practical experience, a salary and an opportunity to earn qualifications while you work. It's the start of your new career.
Apprenticeships have changed a lot since they first began. They are no longer just a single qualification but a viable route into career progression and higher-level learning, even a degree if you should want one.
Along with vocational qualifications, you learn teamwork, critical thinking skills and will build a thorough understanding of employment rights and responsibilities. All of this will knowledge will set you on the right path to your chosen career.
Whether you have left school, are thinking of leaving college or simply looking to change your career, an apprenticeship could very well be the right path for you.
