Considering an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships let you earn a wage and a qualification at the same time. Here are five reasons people choose them:
A huge range of careers
There are hundreds of apprenticeship standards across every industry — law, marketing, construction, healthcare, engineering and plenty you won't have thought of.
Earn and learn
You'll earn at least the apprentice National Minimum Wage, and many employers pay well above it. You get holiday, sick pay and the same rights as any other employee — see what's paying now.
Strong career prospects
Employers rate apprentices highly precisely because they've done the job. Many large employers train their graduates and apprentices side by side.
Learn on the job
There's only so much a classroom can teach you. As an apprentice you learn by doing the real work — and you can try it out first with work experience.
