Considering an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships let you earn a wage and a qualification at the same time. Here are five reasons people choose them:

Benefit 1

Paid training

Your employer and the government cover the cost of your training — and you're paid to do it. You can reach degree level without a penny of student debt.

Benefit 2

A huge range of careers

There are hundreds of apprenticeship standards across every industry — law, marketing, construction, healthcare, engineering and plenty you won't have thought of.

Benefit 3

Earn and learn

You'll earn at least the apprentice National Minimum Wage, and many employers pay well above it. You get holiday, sick pay and the same rights as any other employee — see what's paying now.

Benefit 4

Strong career prospects

Employers rate apprentices highly precisely because they've done the job. Many large employers train their graduates and apprentices side by side.

Benefit 5

Learn on the job

There's only so much a classroom can teach you. As an apprentice you learn by doing the real work — and you can try it out first with work experience.
