If  you’re 16 – 24 you’re eligible to be considered for an apprenticeship. There are Apprenticeships in over 200 job areas, and all involve working in a job, learning ‘hands on’ and studying for qualifications like NVQ 2 or 3.

There are:

• Apprenticeships
  
• Advanced Apprenticeships
  
• Professional Apprenticeships

 
There are no set entry qualifications to get an Apprenticeship, though you may need GCSEs A*-Cs for some.

Apprenticeships usually last 1 to 2 years, but it depends on your abilities and what your employer needs!

Most apprentices are paid and there’s a minimum wage of £80.00 per week.  Lots of apprenticeships will pay more than this.

Check out the latest apprenticeship vacancies at cnx2jobs, or talk to your Personal Adviser as some apprenticeships are very popular and in short supply.  Your Personal Adviser can tell you what’s available and help you to apply.

There is also information about organisations that offer apprenticeships in the local area at NWApprenticeships
