LEARN IN THE WORKPLACE

Apprenticeships, the opportunity to earn while you learn, have undergone great reform in the past few years. Our specialist higher apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships in healthcare, nursing, business management, physiotherapy, social work, education (teacher) and hospitality continue to grow. COULD AN APPRENTICESHIP BE RIGHT FOR YOU?

“We were delighted to commence 10 trainees on the new apprenticeship for care support workers, AHP and support technicians and assistants, providing the skills and knowledge needed to perform advanced roles within clinical practice and lead others in adult health and social care provision.” Clare Spencer Head of Training and Development, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust

If you are already working in business administration and management roles and are looking to gain new skills, knowledge and career advancement, this could be for you. Salaries are dependent on sector, geographic region and apprenticeship level, but some higher and degree apprenticeships can pay as much as £300 to £500 per week. AS AN APPRENTICE, YOU WILL: • Work with experienced staff • Earn a wage and get holiday pay • Gain valuable work-based skills • Study towards a related qualification(s) “I am now doing the Level 6 top-up degree at University College Birmingham after completing my apprenticeship, which will open up other avenues for my future career prospects. The lecturer support at the University is outstanding and it is a friendly environment which has inspired me all the way.” Sarah Castledine-Pearce Assistant Practitioners in Healthcare Higher Apprentice
