Apprenticeships are real jobs. And employers respect them. In fact, they think that apprentices are 15% more employable than those with other qualifications. You'll be working alongside experienced people, supporting them and learning from them as you go. Working at least 30 hours a week, you’ll gain most of the training you need in the workplace. But you may also go to a college, training provider, training centre or learn online to gain vital skills and qualifications. All of which are available in Cumbria.
Apprenticeships are now available in more than 170 industries with many in Cumbria. Respected by employers across the world, apprenticeships lead to a national qualification, with a network of support available to give you all the help you need to do well.
