An apprenticeship is an actual job where you get to learn and gain experience whilst getting paid. Besides working with your employer, for 20% of your working hours each week, you’ll spend time on your personal learning and development, or working towards a qualification. Apprenticeships can be between 1 and 6 years’ long and are funded by the government and the employer. You can do an apprenticeship from the age of 16.

Good question! If you’d like to learn on the job, gain real-life experience and earn a salary, then an apprenticeship is a great option. If you’re not quite sure, check out the Skills Hub to learn more about life as an apprentice. Watch Apprenticeship Mythbusting to get started.
