Modern apprenticeships
What is a Modern Apprenticeship?
A Modern Apprenticeship is a job which lets people earn a wage and gain an industry-recognised qualification. For employers, modern apprenticeships help develop their workforce by training new staff, and upskilling existing employees.
As a Modern Apprentice, you'll:
- work, earn and learn – you'll be employed by a company
- get a qualification that's recognised by industry employers
- have a job and learn for between 1 and 4 years
- choose from over 100 different Modern Apprenticeships
