An Apprenticeship is a fantastic way to get your foot on the career ladder of your choice, and Apprenticeships have been proven to be a viable option where you can learn invaluable, hands-on skills and also get paid while you learn.
You will work in a real work environment, with a contract of employment and a salary, and Apprenticeships are a progressive route which can lead to full time employment and can even lead onto a Degree with the introduction of Higher and Degree Apprenticeships in sectors such as accountancy, law and engineering – you can gain all of the qualifications without all of the debt!
All Apprenticeships are paid a wage, and this varies upon your age and the organisations. The minimum wage for a 16-18 year old Apprentice is available on the Apprenticeships Website here, employed a minimum of 30 hours and a maximum of 40 hours. If you employ someone aged 19+ working towards their first Apprenticeship, the minimum wage for the first 12 months can be found here.
