What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns new skills and gains valuable experiences.
Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a college, university or training provider which leads to a nationally recognised qualification.
