What is an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship is a programme of structured education and training which formally combines and alternates learning in the workplace with learning in an education or training centre.

Apprentices earn while they learn and build valuable work-ready skills in a chosen occupation. Apprenticeships open up exciting and rewarding careers, with learning grounded in the practical experience of undertaking a real job.
