What we offer

Get Ready for Work ......

...... supports young people to move into a job, further training or college, by helping them focus on what they want to do. They can also learn new skills and get the confidence they need to move on to further training, learning or into work. The programme is open to 16 to 18 year-olds and all trainees are paid a training allowance.

Modern Apprenticeships ......

...... offer learners over 16 the opportunity to develop good levels of skills and to progress within their career.

They are an exciting way of gaining skills and qualifications that will help to start a career without having to study full-time, and are available across a wide range of industries.

All Modern Apprenticeship frameworks are developed by the industry or sector in which they will be implemented and therefore encompass all the skills required to become a craftsman, technician or manager within that area.

Modern Apprenticeships can be done at any age.
