Apprenticeships are not just jobs with learning, but are real career opportunities to ensure you continue to train and progress after leaving school or college.

Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to work and earn a wage whilst learning and gaining qualifications.

Apprenticeship jobs normally require you to perform at a more practical level initially, before developing your skills and progressing to a more senior position or an advanced qualification over a period of time.

Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships offer on-and-off the job training working towards your NVQ and nationally recognised Functional Skills. These Functional Skills, in English and Mathematics, will be relevant throughout your working life.
