An apprenticeship is a real job that allows young people to gain money while studying and obtaining a widely recognised qualification.
Apprenticeships typically last one to four years and occupy 1,500 career positions from production and accounting to public relations and veterinary nursing.
Is an apprenticeship education?
Candidates for apprenticeship must be at least 16 years old. Since an apprenticeship will train you for a new job or sector, they should be mindful that this is a viable career option for them and is indeed an education.
Apprenticeships are offered at various levels, from entry-level to degree-level for a Higher Apprenticeship or a Degree Apprenticeship.
