Employees aged 16 and over with a  specific guarantee for those aged 16 – 19

Modern Apprenticeships offer anyone aged over 16 paid employment combined with the opportunity to train for jobs across a wide range of industry sectors. They offer the opportunity to gain skills and qualifications that will help to start a career without having to study full-time.

 

All the Modern Apprenticeship frameworks are developed by the appropriate sector skills council in consultation with their industry.

 

As a Modern Apprentice you will be employed from the very start of your training and will receive a wage from your employer. You will then be given the chance to develop expertise and knowledge through on-the-job assessment, as well as gaining vital skills such as teamwork and problem solving. Many Modern Apprentices also attend colleges or training centres to study the theory relating to their chosen occupation.

 

Some of the Modern apprenticeships we offer include:-

  • Business and Administration

  • Childcare

  • Health and Social Care

  • Hospitality

  • Retail

  • Vehicle maintenance and Repair (light or heavy vehicle)

  • Hairdressing

  • Harris Tweed

  • Youth Work

  • Operational Services

     

There is scope for doing an apprenticeship in other vocational areas, so if there is anything you are interested in please get in touch.
