Thinking of further study? What about an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship logo

Want to learn a skill?  Want to get out to work but carry on learning and get work-related qualifications?  An apprenticeship may be the right route for you.

Top asked questions:-

  • What is an Apprenticeship?

  • Do I have to pay anything to become an apprentice?

  • Do I get paid?

  • Do I have to pay tax and National Insurance?

Find out more on the National Apprenticeship & Vacancy Matching Service website.

The best chance of getting an apprenticeship locally is through your own contacts - does one of your family work for an employer who might take you on?  Did you do work experience with an employer who takes apprentices?  What about your part-time job?.... ask if they have any apprenticeship opportunities.

It is also a good idea to send out speculative letters with a copy of your CV to local companies who may take on apprentices.  Contact your local Connexions Centre for help in writing a CV or speculative letter.
