Apprenticeships
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship, which must last for a minimum of 12 months, combines hands-on work with the opportunity to train and obtain qualifications, right up to Masters Degree level. It’s a paid position, so you earn while you learn, and at least 20% of your time is set aside for learning, usually at a college, university or training provider. Whereas previously apprenticeships were generally offered within the "trades", they are now available in any industry - from construction, marketing, engineering, IT, tourism, and even film & television.
