What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience, and get paid. By the end of the apprenticeship, you will have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.
Apprenticeships are open to everyone aged 16 and over not in full time education. They can take between 1 and 6 years to complete, depending on the level chosen and your experience.
