Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is a way to gain the skills, knowledge, and experience you need to get into many careers. They combine work, training, and study, letting you 'earn while you learn'.

There are many different apprenticeships available across a wide range of industries, and for a wide variety of job roles. As a paid employee, each apprentice works alongside their studies. There are no student fees – your training costs are funded by the government and your employer.

It’s an ideal option if you have a clear idea of the career path you want to follow, providing you with practical, on-the-job training, and classroom-based instruction.

When to apply for an apprenticeship? 

Vacancies will come up throughout the year - each with a specific deadline and start date.

Don't wait until the deadline as some companies will close their recruitment when they have a sufficient number of suitable candidates. 

Most apprenticeships will be advertised from January onwards so you will need to keep an eye out on both the Gov and the UCAS website.
