Apprenticeships
The proven way to earn as you learn.
Apprenticeships give you the chance to earn while you learn.
First you’ll need to decide which career suits you best; there are lots to choose from. The Apprenticeship will be a mix of working for your employer and attending Mid Cheshire College to study for a qualification in the area of work you have chosen. Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged over 16 who is leaving or has already left compulsory education. Entry requirements are flexible because Apprenticeships are not just based on academic achievement but will depend on the career path chosen. To do well on an Apprenticeship, you need to be focused on your chosen career and be prepared to work hard to achieve success. What can you expect from your employer? Once you find a job you will agree an individual learning plan with your employer and Mid Cheshire College and a training programme will be put together for you. Your employer will provide a safe working environment and will also work together with an assessor from the College to ensure you achieve your qualifications. What’s expected of you? You will be expected to work normal working hours for your employer to earn your wages. You’ll also work towards gaining the qualifications within your Apprenticeship Framework. What will you gain? You will gain practical experience, skills and knowledge from working in your chosen area of employment.
