Apprenticeships
We offer a broad range of Apprenticeships and have been in business training young people since 1982 and support the following business sectors:-
- Business Administration
- Child Care
- Health and Social Care
- Joinery
|
- Maintenance Operations
- Retail and Warehousing
- Customer Services
- Youth Work
|
An Apprentice learns through a combination of on and off-the-job education and training. On average, an apprenticeship will take about 15 months to complete. During this time you will attend your place of work for four days a week and attend the training centre for one day per week to train towards an NVQ, functional skills and technical certificate. To qualify you will need good communication skills and GCSE grades A-E.
We are able to offer training to anyone who meets the requirements of the programmes between the ages of 16-24 and 25+.
For an appointment to discuss Apprenticeships please call 01642 528112 or 601777.

Entry to Employment
Entry to Employment is designed to equip young people to become independent, self-motivated, informed and empowered to take control of their lives. The aim of the programme is to enable learners to progress into employment with training, apprenticeships or onto further learning programmes.

Middle: Marilyn Poole (Education Manager) Rachel Bulmer, Callum Richardson, Holly Levett (students) Kathy Howard (Education Manager)
Back: Andrew Jones (student) Jacki Lewis (Area Lead Officer) Anthony Blaggan (student). Learners participating in this programme have the opportunity to gain qualifications up to and including Level 1 Functional Maths, English and ICT skills, Vocational skills and Personal and Social Development and the planned attendance is 30 hours a week.
We offer learners assistance to develop their vocational skills by undertaking work experience in either a real life environment or a community project. They may attend for up to 3 days each week. In many cases this leads to full time employment or an apprenticeship, but as a minimum, it will enhance life skills and raise general employability and provide learners with a current work reference.
