Last updated:Information about the apprenticeship process is available below.
Apprenticeships are work-based programmes designed by employers that are linked directly to job roles.
They give an employee:
- the chance to receive structured high-quality training in the workplace
- an opportunity to work towards a nationally recognised qualification
Apprenticeships are offered at different levels making them appropriate for a wide group of people. This route is now regarded by many businesses as a popular alternative to Higher Education.
