Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are opportunities to learn about a job through paid employment in the job. Apprenticeships can last from one year to six years. As well as doing paid work, apprentices also have the opportunity to learn about the job and develop their skills. Apprenticeships are available to young people aged 16 upwards.

The way support works with apprenticeships can be very different depending on the apprenticeship.  If you attend college as part of the apprenticeship, support can be provided by the college.  Some employers will be able to provide some work based support too.

If you have an EHCP, then support through the EHCP MAY continue to be provided to the college or training provider.
