Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are nationally planned training programmes for those aged 14 years and over. They offer young people and adults the opportunity to:

• learn on the job with an employer to gain knowledge and skills
• gain qualifications with a work-based learning provider/college
• earn money and, most importantly, gain valuable job experience.
