Apprenticeships

• Anyone over 16 years old and not in full-time education can apply for an apprenticeship.
• Apprenticeships give you an opportunity to work for a real employer, earn a real salary, and gain a real qualification while gaining valuable workplace skills and experience.
• All apprenticeships include elements of on-the-job and off-the-job training leading to industry recognised standards or qualifications. Some apprenticeships also require an assessment at the end of the programme to assess the apprentice`s ability and competence in their job role.
• Apprenticeships are available at various levels covering more than 170 industries and 1500 job roles.

• After finishing, the majority of apprentices (85%) will stay in employment, with two-thirds (64%) staying with the same employer.
• A third (32%) of all former apprentices had received a promotion within 12 months of finishing - of those in work three quarters (75%) reported taking on more responsibilities in their job.
• Employers think that qualified apprentices are 15% more employable than those with other qualifications.
