Can’t find an apprenticeship or vacancy that’s right for you?

There are a number of options available to students who can’t initially find a suitable employer to start an apprenticeship with.

Apply for a full-time vocational course Many school leavers initially apply to a full time BTEC qualification before they start on an apprenticeship. Once an employer becomes available, it is then possible to fast-track you onto an apprenticeship programme with Northern Skills midway through your course. This is a valuable option as it allows you to gain a basic understanding of the industry you will be working in and complete work as part of your technical certificate. If you are based in Middlesbrough, Tees Valley you can apply for a full-time courses at www.mbro.ac.uk

Join our pre-apprenticeship programme apprenticeships are competitive so you need to stand out, have work experience behind you and know how to write an amazing application.

We work with you on communication skills, team building, CV writing and interview skills to help you succeed.
