Provider overview

Craven College strongly believe that apprenticeships are an invaluable first step into a career. They are an excellent opportunity for local businesses to grow and develop their own employees and create a highly skilled workforce who can contribute to their future success. If you are a small business, you may be looking for just one individual to join your team and grow with you, whereas larger employers may be looking at using apprenticeship programmes to maintain a flow of new talent for their business development and succession strategies. In either instance, Craven College has many years of experience in offering high quality apprenticeship services to employers big or small.
