An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed for your career.

Here are just some of the reasons why an apprenticeship could be right for you:

Earn while you learn - Work alongside experienced staff to develop your skills and earn a wage at the same time

Hands-on experience – Gain practical experience in a real job role that allows you to learn by doing

Loads of choice - There are apprenticeships in EVERY sector & industry; from accounting, pharmacy, beauty, catering, digital marketing, fashion, plumbing & HM forces, the list is almost endless

Different levels to suit your needs - Whether you're just starting out, upskilling, or looking for a career change, there's an apprenticeship for everyone (from GCSE level to Master’s Degree!)

No student debt - As an apprentice, your employer pays for your training and also pays you a salary

Anyone looking to find out more about apprenticeships

School leavers or college graduates interested in future career opportunities

Parents, carers, teachers, lecturers, or role models who want to support young people with their career choices
