What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a way for people to gain the skills and experience they need to enter a particular career. Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with an academic element, which will include achieving industry recognised certificates.
Apprenticeship programmes are designed by industry, and allow employers to develop new employees in particular job roles. Within our sector these job roles can include:
- Desktop Support
- Hardware installation
- Web design
- Software development
and many others...
