Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study.

As an apprentice young people will:

• work alongside experienced staff
• gain job-specific skills
• study towards a related qualification (usually one day a week)
• earn a wage and get holiday pay

Apprenticeships take 1 to 4 years to complete depending on their level.

Who can apply?
Young people can apply for an apprenticeship while still at school. To start one, young people will need to be:

• 16 or over
• living in England
• not in full-time education
