What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a job with training, where young people earn whilst they work towards a nationally recognised qualification. Apprenticeships can take between 1 and 5 years to complete, depending on the level of qualification and the job involved. Apprenticeships are available in over 1500 job roles and over 500 sectors.
What can an apprenticeship lead to?
Many employers consider apprenticeships to be a long term investment in an employee. Often an apprenticeship can lead to a permanent job with the same employer, or give better opportunities when applying elsewhere for a permanent job. Sometimes apprenticeships can be extended allowing the young person to continue working and studying for a higher level apprenticeship.
Apprenticeships are offered at four levels:
Intermediate equivalent of 5 A*-C GCSEs
Advanced equivalent of 2 A Levels
Higher equivalent of a Foundation Degree
Degree equivalent of a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree
