Modern Apprenticeships

Modern Apprenticeships offer you the chance to earn whilst you learn. Employees are able to pay trainees a small wage whilst they learn “on the job”. Modern apprenticeships have often been seen as a way into a certain industry.

Apprenticeships in the construction industry are quite common. They give young people a chance to work towards a recognised qualification whilst earning some money and gaining some work experience too. There are over 255,000 young people doing apprenticeships across the country, specialising in everything from environmental conservation and furniture manufacture to business administration and health and social care. More companies are finding that offering Apprenticeships is a good way of developing a highly motivated, skilled workforce – from major employers such as British Gas and Honda to small businesses offering highly specialised services.  

Apprenticeships allow you to put the practical skills you learn to good use as you learn them. It is a springboard towards a structured career programme that will not only give you specialist skills, but also important transferable skills that can help get you started on the jobs market. You get training and you’ll be working towards a recognised qualification, gaining valuable experience and often working for some of the UK’s leading employers.
