When you decide to take up an Apprenticeship you will earn real wages whilst at the same time gaining new qualifications and training. Craig New from Birkenhead, who has secured a four-year Apprenticeship with United Utilities, said: “I’m a hands-on person and school just didn’t work for me. Getting the Apprenticeship was fantastic news, especially as it was with such a well-known company.”

Apprenticeships are vitally important to the future regeneration of the economy. Retail Apprentice, Rachel Fellows, who works at McArthurGlen’s Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet recently scooped The Skillsmart Retail Apprentice of the Year. Rachel said: “Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to get into your chosen career as they provide you with all the training and skills you need, and because you are already in the working environment you adapt quicker and can learn as you work.”
For more information regarding becoming an Apprentice or recruiting an Apprentice, call the Apprenticeship team on 01244 670430.
