Apprenticeships - Information for Individuals
If you’re not sure whether to get a job or come to college, why not do both? You can earn while you learn with an Apprenticeship.
Getting paid while you learn might sound too good to be true - but as an Apprentice, you’ll have the best of both worlds, gaining experience when you work and qualifications when you study.
How do Apprenticeships work?
Apprenticeships focus on the whole job, not just individual skills and you learn through a combination of on and off-the-job training. Your employer pays you a weekly wage and provides you with the on-the-job training which allows you to achieve a, National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). You will also spend time at college, usually one day a week, to study for key skills and a Technical Certificate, depending upon the apprenticeship you follow.
