š” What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is an on-the-job training programme that develops an employee's knowledge, skills and behaviours in order to perform in their job role. They are used to train both new and existing members of staff, allowing individuals to gain a qualification at the same time as gaining work experience and earning a wage. The training is designed to be flexible in order to meet the needs of the individual and their employer. You will be supported through your studies internally by your line manager and our Learning and Development team.
š” How does it work?
There is a variety of learning practises; on-the-job, face to face online with a dedicated tutor, Group sessions, assessments and learning journals.
š” Who can apply?
We offer x3 levels of Apprenticeships to suit a mixture of experience levels.
