What are Apprenticeships?
As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside
experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually
on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work
towards nationally recognised qualifications. Anyone living in
England, over 16 and not in full-time education can apply.
Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete
depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices’ ability
and the industry sector. The minimum salary is £2.50 per hour;
however, many apprentices earn significantly more.
Key benefits:
- earn a salary
