What is an Apprenticeship?
A real job, with hands-on experience and a salary – alongside industry standard training and a qualification.
An Apprenticeship is for people of all ages, 16+, to help kick-start a career in a job that suits their skills and interests, to facilitate a career change, or for people who would like to progress in their current role. With Apprenticeships now in a variety of logistics, plant and administrative sectors, and at different levels, there is a programme with trans plant mastertrain for you. The programme is for a minimum of 12 months and structured in a way to suit employer and employee needs.
An apprenticeship is a way to improve the skills gap your company has and this can be done by employing a new member of staff or up-skilling an existing employee.
