apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are ideal for you if you want
to learn through experience and receive
your training in the workplace. It is also
very appealing for employers to work with
apprentices as they get an opportunity to be a
part of your development and can induct you
seamlessly into their work culture. It’s a very
rewarding experience for both parties!
You may already be employed but want to gain a
qualification to show you have the relevant skills in
your job role or you may wish to progress within the
company and an Apprenticeship qualification will
demonstrate to your managers that you are ready for
career progression.
City College is a major provider of Apprenticeships
in the South-East and we have extensive contacts in
the industry.
We work closely with employers and advertise their
vacancies on the National Apprenticeship Vacancy
Service and have a high street presence through our
City Skills & Jobs Shop.
Why should I take an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way of learning on the
job. While taking an Apprenticeship, you will be working
for a real company in a real job. You will gain the skills,
knowledge and experience of your chosen industry.
You will also work towards either an NVQ or another
nationally recognised qualification.
You can ‘earn while you learn’
Wages will vary depending on the type of
Apprenticeship you are taking; however you will earn
no less than £95 per week. Recent surveys have
suggested that the average amount apprentices earn
is now around £170 per week.
Flexible training
As an employee, you will be in active employment
for most of your time as most training takes place on
the job. The rest of your training will take place at
City College - usually once or twice a week.
