Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships provide an important opportunity to ‘earn and learn’ in a wide range of occupations and sectors. Apprenticeships give you the chance to develop skills, whilst gaining experience and qualifications. They also help meet the skills needs of businesses and the economy.

Apprenticeships can start at any time during the year and are used to train both new and existing employees, for anyone 16 and over.

The College offers Apprenticeships a wide variety of vocational areas to suit a wide range of career aims and interests.

There are 3 types of frameworks available:

Intermediate Apprenticeships (Level 2)
Advanced Apprenticeships (Level 3)
Higher Apprenticeships (Level 4)

Representatives from relevant industry sectors work with the Sector Skills Councils to develop the qualifications course content to fit the industry of choice.

Employers
The Apprenticeship Grant for Employers of 16 to 24 year olds is aimed at helping eligible employers to offer young people employment through the Apprenticeship programme, by providing wage grants to assist employers in recruiting their first apprentice. The National Apprenticeship Service will provide up to 40,000 Apprenticeship grants to small/medium sized employers recruiting 16 to 24 year olds with a value of £1,500 to encourage new employers to take on new apprentices. The £1,500 is in addition to the training costs of the Apprenticeship framework which are met in full for young people aged 16 to 18 and 50% for those aged 19 to 24.
