Information about Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are real jobs with real employers, allowing you to work, earn a salary and gain valuable qualifications and experience.

With over 600 different apprenticeship standards covering everything from accountancy to zoo keeping, there is an apprenticeship out there for everyone.

Apprenticeships offer choice, opportunity, qualifications, support and a head start into a future career.

Did you know, 93% of apprentices remain in employment upon completion of their training.
