Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are nationally planned training programmes for those aged 14 years and over. They offer young people 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.

There is a complete ‘working ladder’ beginning with Young Apprenticeships at the age of 14 and possibly ending with a Higher Education qualification...click here to view the Apprenticeship Ladder
