An apprenticeship is an opportunity to earn a salary as an employee while gaining valuable knowledge, skills and certification. You will learn both on-the-job and, in a college setting, while being paid throughout and there are now thousands of apprenticeships to choose from. Along with the building trade i.e. plumber, electrician and plasterer, there are now apprenticeships available in every field, such as Engineering, Software Development, Lab Technician, Chef, Social Worker, International Financial Services Specialist, Agricultural & Horticulture, Hairdressing and much, much more.
