14-19 Young Adults
At secondary school and starting to consider your options?
The Young Apprenticeship Programme has been developed so that students can gain experience of real work while continuing with core curriculum subjects. This could provide a stepping stone to progress into an Apprenticeship when you leave school.
Leaving school or over 16?
Whether you are looking for a job that enables you to carry on learning, or are already in employment and want to gain further qualifications an Apprenticeship could be the option for you.
What to do next?
