It’s a big world of learning and work out there and it can be hard to decide what you may want to do in the future. Just ten years from now, there will be very few jobs that require no skills at all so having the right skills is more important than ever before. It’s a good idea to know about all of the options available to you. After all…it’s your choice!
An apprenticeship is a real job with training, so you can earn while you learn and pick up recognised qualifications as you go. It takes between one and four years to complete and covers 1,400 job roles in a wide range of industries, from engineering to agriculture and ICT to construction.
An apprenticeship offers so many benefits including: • You can learn and earn at the same time. Your employer pays you a wage for the work you do, whilst you also spend a day or two each week at college studying • You gain valuable, practical work experience with job specific skills
