Why Consider Apprenticeships? An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed for your career. Here are just some of the reasons why an apprenticeship could be right for you:
Earn while you learn - Work alongside experienced staff to develop your skills and earn a wage at the same time
Hands-on experience – Gain practical experience in a real job role that allows you to learn by doing
Loads of choice - There are apprenticeships in EVERY sector & industry; from plumbing, accounting, beauty, catering, pharmacy, digital marketing, fashion & HM forces, the list is almost endless
Different levels to suit your needs - Whether you're just starting out, upskilling, or looking for a career change, there's an apprenticeship for everyone (from GCSE level to Master’s Degree!)
No student debt - As an apprentice, your employer pays for your training and also pays you a salary
