Apprenticeships are designed for people who want to start building a career straight after their GCSEs. You’ll work for an employer, earn a salary and study towards nationally recognised qualifications while gaining valuable real-world experience. Depending on the apprenticeship level and industry, you could achieve qualifications such as vocational certificates, diplomas, NVQs and apprenticeship standards. They offer a direct route into employment while continuing your education and developing skills that employers value.
