Engineering apprenticeships
Engineering apprenticeships let you earn a wage while you train towards a recognised qualification. You're employed from day one, learning the job by doing it, with time set aside each week for study.

Why engineering?
Apprenticeships are how many employers in this sector bring in new people — you get paid experience, a qualification and no tuition debt.
Common questions
Do I need experience to apply?
Usually not. Apprenticeships are designed for people starting out, and employers expect to train you.
Will I be paid?
Yes. Apprentices are employees and must be paid at least the apprentice National Minimum Wage — many employers pay more.
