Apprenticeships (formally known as Modern Apprenticeships) are a great way to earn money while you learn. If you want to get hands-on work experience, earn money and study at the same time then an apprenticeship might be the option for you.
There are over 180 Apprenticeships available across more than 80 industry sectors.
But the apprenticeship route is not for everyone so you need to think carefully about which career path suits you best and whether you want to juggle working for an employer and studying for a qualification at the same time.
If you are interested then contacting a Connexions Personal Advisor or talking to a teacher is the best first step.
