Adult Apprenticeships make sense!

Adult Apprenticeships are on the rise, with more and more people opting for this route.

In the 2021/2022 academic year adults accounted for 72.4% of all people starting an Apprenticeship* and here’s why:

• Gain a promotion or pursue a new career with occupationally-specific qualifications

• Learn from expert professionals

• Benefit from hands-on experience

• Debt free

• On completion choose career progression, other vocational-related qualifications or even university!

It’s a fact – apprentices in Greater Manchester are thriving! In 2021/2022, the North West had the second largest* amount of apprentices in the whole of England!
