During an apprenticeship, apprentices work alongside experienced colleagues to gain hands-on experience and gain practical skills. They also attend off-the-job training sessions to learn the theoretical aspects of their role and industry. At the end of the apprenticeship, apprentices receive a nationally recognised qualification which demonstrates and confirms they have gained the knowledge, skills and behaviours to perform their job effectively.
