Training & Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships - Employed
An apprenticeship is a 'job' from day one which includes a combination of on and off-the-job training.
An apprentice also receives ‘off-the-job’ training, usually on a day-release basis with a training provider, to work towards achieving vocational qualifications.
