Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship combines practical training on the job, alongside studying. You’ll get a chance to ‘earn while you learn’ and have time during the week to do your studies. Apprenticeships can be at different levels and lengths.

You can apply if you’re:

• 16 or over by the end of the summer holidays
• living in England
• not in full-time education.

You can apply here:

• Find an apprenticeship here on the UK Government website
• Here you can find out how to become an apprentice, which employers offer them and information about starting your apprenticeship.

Apprenticeships are paid. How much depends on your age and what area of industry you go in to.

If you’re thinking about an apprenticeship but not sure how it might affect your circumstances or what you’re entitled to at work, more information can be found here:
