Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships help you earn while you learn and gain the training and skills you need to pursue your career .
The government website www . gov . uk / apply-apprenticeship advertises apprenticeships available across the UK . You can search by occupation , level and postcode .
• You can start an apprenticeship from the age of 16 and there is no upper age limit . If you have an Educational Health Care Plan ( EHCP ) then apprenticeships are also an option for you .
• As an apprentice you would be entitled to the Apprentice Minimum Wage although many employers chose to pay more than this .
• If you do not feel ready for an apprenticeship that ’ s okay . There are also traineeship courses which are designed to prepare you for apprenticeships at your own speed .
Speak to your careers department for more information .
