National Apprenticeship Week 2025

Start your apprenticeship journey 

 

Whether you are planning ahead for when you leave education in the summer; are currently seeking opportunities; or are an adult looking for a way to change careers, apprenticeships are a great option.

​

We love apprenticeships because:

​

  • they are real jobs with real training

  • you can earn a salary while you learn and gain a nationally recognised qualification from level two up to degree level

  • they provide anyone aged 16+ with an opportunity to gain experience in a particular sector or work environment

  • you are supported by both the employer and a local training provider.
