Apprenticeships & Traineeships
As more and more employers embrace the benefits of hiring apprentices, the number of opportunities for those looking to learn on-the-job is ever increasing. Gone are the days when Apprenticeships were limited to only a handful of sectors: now there are Apprenticeships in a wide variety of industries, such as business, media, education, healthcare and more.
Apprenticeships are perfect for those who learn best by doing, and these earn-while-you-learn routes are suitable for school-leavers and career-changers alike.
Traineeships are the latest initiative to help people into employment. Often considered as an entry route to an Apprenticeship, Traineeships will provide someone with the opportunity to gain real work experience, develop employability skills, and make connections within their chosen industry.
Shorter than an Apprenticeship, a Traineeship will give you the confidence and the knowledge to make your next career move, and these flexible schemes can be tailored to suit your needs.
