What is an apprentice?

An apprenticeship is a ‘learn as you earn’ job, alongside an assessment and skills development programme. The apprentice gains skills and knowledge in a specific job role through learning in the workplace (80% of their time) and formal off-the-job training (20% of their time). Apprenticeships benefit employers and individuals, and boost economic productivity.

Who are they for?

Anyone over the age of 16 (18+ for degree apprenticeships) and not in full-time education. Employers can offer apprenticeships to new recruits, or use them to upskill current employees
