Apprenticeships


As the fifth largest Further Education provider of apprenticeships in England, we have over 2400 apprentices, working with 1000 employers across most sectors in our region and this number is growing.

We are the largest provider of apprenticeships in the area and we are the first choice for many employers and individuals. You can apply for an apprenticeship either straight after school, during your time at College or starting an apprenticeship once you have finished College.

We offer ‘roll on – roll off’ apprenticeships for employers which means they can offer an apprenticeship at any time during the year. This means we have vacancies available throughout the year for new apprenticeships to start. You can apply if you are not at College or if you are already on one of our College programmes.

Behind them more students sit chatting, and on the rear wall is a large, bright picture of a bright blue sky and vibrant green trees. Industrial style lightbulbs hang decoratively from the ceiling around the room

In a brightly lit enclosed workspace, a student wearing protective blue overalls and large clear face covering is holding a piece of paint spraying equipment in one hand, holding the tube that feeds it out of the way with the other hand.
