All our apprentices are employed within a company, gaining nationally recognised qualifications and earning a real wage whilst learning new 'on the job' skills.

They will provide support throughout the apprenticeship to ensure that apprentices achieve their goals. Apprenticeships have been designed with employers in the industry to offer a structured programme.
