Apprenticeships and traineeships
Apprenticeships and traineeships combine work-based training with an employer and formal training from a training provider. They are established under training contracts between the employer and the apprentice or trainee and are regulated by government. They're a great way to be paid for work, learn and earn a qualification.
An apprenticeship or traineeship will give the skills employers need while being paid to get a nationally recognised qualification.
- one of the best ways to get job training and qualifications
- highly regarded by business and industry
