Where to Find Apprenticeships

To find an apprenticeship, follow this step-by-step guide.

Consider doing an apprenticeship in the field of your choice, and if so, at what level? 

Start by deciding whether apprenticeship standards exist for the career area you’re interested in and where you should start.

Any apprenticeship is valued at a certain level, influencing entry requirements. Regardless of prior experience, all must begin at Level 2 for some apprenticeships.

Some Level 3 jobs may enable you to work unsupervised, so if you don’t have much work experience, you can start with Level 2 before moving on to Level 3.

You can also use the website to apply for apprenticeship jobs and track the status of your applications.
