APPRENTICESHIPS

If you feel ready to start work, then an apprenticeship could be the right move for you. You will learn on the job, gain a qualification and earn a wage. Sound good? We work with employers from a wide variety of industries with apprenticeship vacancies, so we can help you find the right opportunity. Apprenticeships last between one and four years.

WHAT WILL I DO?

We can discuss which of the available vacancies would suit you best. We work with local employers who are looking for an apprentice and can help guide you through the application process. If successful, you will start work and learn the skills of the job as you go. On some apprenticeships, you will spend one day a week at the College.

ENGLISH AND MATHS

You will study functional skills in English and maths if you haven’t already achieved grade 9-4 at GCSE level. The grades you need vary depending on what level of apprenticeship you are studying. In some cases, you will study ICT as part of your apprenticeship framework.

DID YOU KNOW?

The way apprenticeships work has changed, and they now include an end point assessment. This assessment may include a professional discussion with an external assessor, an apprenticeship showcase (a bit like a portfolio), an observation in your workplace or a practical demonstration. Your assessor will let you know which applies to you.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

If you are looking to start work straight away and prefer to learn in a working environment, then this could be the best route for you. This is your opportunity to impress, so you will need to work hard, show dedication, determination and enthusiasm. You will gain work experience in an industry setting, whilst earning a qualification, which can be used for UCAS points, should you wish to consider university in the future. Apprenticeships help provide you with the relevant work experience you need to find future jobs in your chosen area.

YOU NEED:

Entry requirements vary depending on the apprenticeship but all require that:

• You are 16 or over • You live in England and are not taking part in full-time education • You may need to come into College one day a week if your apprenticeship is in a trade such as construction, hair dressing or motor vehicle
