What is an Apprenticeship?

What is an Apprenticeship?

  • A paid period of training that allows you to learn a particular skill or set of skills that can last between one and four years
 
  • There are a variety of sectors and industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, law, engineering, education, retail and art.
 
  • The usual method of entry is through a standard application and offer process
    • Candidates apply for a specific position
    • Successful candidates are offered an apprenticeship
 
  • The amount you get paid will depend on the level of skill you possess and the industry you choose for your apprenticeship. In exchange for working as an employee on a relatively low wage, you will be trained to learn a new skill. Understandably, your skill level is going to be zero when you first start out, but over time you will improve and so will your wages.
