If you’re looking for the chance to ‘learn on the job’ then an apprenticeship could be for you. Put simply, you have a job with education attached enabling you to gain essential work experience (and a salary with paid holiday) and “earn while you learn”.
As Lord Sugar has said previously “people who do apprenticeships become ambitious, they’re ‘doers’, the kind of people who will make things happen. Success is all about finding people like this” .
The Apprenticeship, Talentview Construction and CITB apprenticeship websites provide a whole range of information to help you decide if an Apprenticeship is right for you. Not only does the apprenticeship website cover information for prospective apprentices, but it also provides information for employers considering an apprenticeship scheme for their business.
