Apprenticeships

What is an apprenticeship?

Apprentices are employed in a job and paid a salary, whilst undertaking training to support the development of their skills. Apprentices will spend at least 20% of their paid time completing ‘off-the-job’ training where they will be supported by a training provider to achieve their apprenticeship. Apprenticeships are available to anyone over the age of 16, living in England and have no upper age limit. To find more please visit the government website: https://www.apprenticeships.gov.uk/apprentices/becoming-apprentice and take a look at the National Apprenticeship Week Newsletter
