What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a vocational work-based training programme designed around the needs of employers, which leads to a national recognised qualification.
Apprenticeships are used to train new and existing employees and provide them with new skills that will help to develop them in their chosen role.
Anyone over the age of 16, who is not in full time education, can apply to be an apprentice. It allows the employee to earn while they learn, whilst gaining a nationally recognised qualification. An apprenticeship must provide for a practical period of work and training that lasts for a minimum duration of 12 months.
