An apprenticeship is a way to combine both learning and working. As an apprentice you work as a paid employee while studying for your qualification, it is a job with training built in. An apprenticeship allows you improve your skills by working with experienced colleagues. You will gain knowledge relevant to your job and add valuable experience to your CV.
Apprentices are paid at least the national minimum apprenticeship wage, £5.28 per hour (April 2023), with many employers paying more. You will work for at least 30 hours a week with your employer. Training for your qualification will take place either at your place of work or in College, usually for one day per week.
Apprentices are available to start throughout the year. You can apply now.
Once you have applied, a member of the apprenticeship team will be in touch to run through your apprenticeship options with you and what the next steps will be.
If you are a current apprentice, your assessor will be in touch with you via phone or video to support you through your apprenticeship and current assessments. Our Apprenticeship Team will be in contact with your employer, keeping them updated on what is happening with your apprenticeship. Please note, if you have been furloughed then you are still employed and are still on an apprenticeship programme.
If you have any questions regarding your current programme or new application, please email engage@nwslc.ac.uk and we will get back to you.
