What an apprenticeship involves

As an apprentice, you’ll split your time between College and your workplace.
You’ll learn from people who do the job every day, supported by tutors who know how to guide you through your next steps.

You can expect:

A paid job with a local employer
Time at College to build your knowledge and grow your confidence
Hands-on experience from day one
A qualification at the end that opens doors to your next move

Finding the spark that leads to something big

Engineering offers a varied and impactful career, where technical expertise, creativity, and problem-solving combine to develop new solutions, improve systems, and keep technologies safe and efficient.

Why study an apprenticeship?

Earn while you learn

You get paid for the work you do during your apprenticeship, so you’re earning an income and gaining skills at the same time.

Real work experience

You’ll work in a real workplace environment, putting theory into practice, learning what employers need, and developing job-ready skills.

Qualifications without large debt

Apprenticeships lead to nationally recognised qualifications (sometimes up to degree level) without many of the tuition fees or student debts associated with full‐time university.

Good progression & employability

Completing an apprenticeship often gives you a head start when applying for full‐time jobs, perhaps even staying with the employer who trained you.

Support & structured training

You’ll have a mix of workplace training and college/tutor support. Colleges generally offer mentoring, assessments, study time, and help with English & maths if needed — which helps you stay on track.

Strong local employer partnerships

We work closely with local organisations and employers to create strong partnerships that give students valuable opportunities and clear pathways into apprenticeships and careers.
