Apprenticeships - Are you aged 16-18?

If full-time education is not for you, where do you go next? Apprenticeships mean that you can learn on the job, building up knowledge and skills, gaining qualifications and earning money at the same time.  You will work towards National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).  Employers all over the country recognise and value NVQs as they show you've been trained in the skill they need.

The apprenticeship programme takes approximately 12-24 months and involves on the job assessments by qualified assessors, dedicated to each trainee. We also offer additional development in the form of workshops that will enhance and expand your skills.

There are over 180 Apprenticeship schemes in 80 different industries to choose from including the following areas:

• Business Administration
• Customer Service
• ICT
• Retail Operations
• Distribution and Warehouse
• Hairdressing

This is an ideal opportunity for you to develop your skills in a new or existing job, enhancing your prospects in the workplace and allowing you to develop your career.
