Apprenticeships are an alternative pathway that you could pursue either directly after leaving school or as an alternative to university.  As an apprentice you earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Apprentices receive training to gain nationally recognised qualifications.

The benefits of apprenticeships include:

• earning a salary
• getting paid holidays
• receiving training
• gaining industry standard qualifications.
• learning job-specific skills.
