Now’s a great time to think about apprenticeships

The government has announced a range of incentives to help more companies create and employ more apprenticeships. Lots of colleges and training providers do a matching service so it’s well worth registering your interest with them.

How does it work?

As an apprentice you’ll combine earning and learning by working for an employer and studying for an industry-relevant qualification. Depending on your level of qualification, you’ll be doing your apprenticeship for at least twelve months.

If you are thinking of becoming an apprentice you can search for opportunities on the government’s Find An Apprenticeship website.

You can also access opportunities on the GET MY FIRST JOB website.
