Frequently asked questions about Apprenticeships: What is an Apprenticeship? Apprenticeships are a brilliant way of gaining qualifications and work experience. As an employee you can earn as you learn and gain practical skills from the work place that will really help you in your future career. What are the entry requirements for an Apprenticeship? Apprenticeships have different entry requirements, however the most important requirements are: - You must be living in England and be aged 16+ - You must not be in full time education. - If you don’t have good grades in GCSE English and maths you will need to take a literacy and numeracy test. Do I get paid during an Apprenticeship? Yes, you do. The minimum wage for an apprentice aged 16-18 is £3.50 per hour (and for those aged 19 or over in the first year of an apprenticeship) after that you are entitled to the National Minimum Wage. However, many employers pay more than this. As skills develop, many employers tend to increase wages; research has shown that apprentices earn an average of £170 net pay per week. For more information about the range of jobs available through apprenticeships, look at the websites below or contact the Youth Employability Service.
