What is an
apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a genuine job with an accompanying assessment and skills development programme, enabling individuals to earn whilst they learn and gain the valuable skills and knowledge required for a specific job.
Apprenticeships benefit employers and individuals, and by boosting the skills of the workforce, they also help to improve economic productivity.
They cover practical training such as shadowing, mentoring, industry visits and attending competitions. Off-the-job training helps an apprentice develop the specific skills for the workplace and they should be supported by the workplace mentor.
How Do They Work?
Apprentices must spend at least 6 hours of their paid working time undertaking off-the-job training. It’s up to the employer and training provider to decide how the off-the-job training is delivered.
Theory
The teaching of theory (lectures, role playing, simulation
