What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a job which is coupled with industry-standard training. It should be about entry to a recognised occupation, involve a substantial programme of on- and off-the-job training and the apprentice’s occupational competence should be tested by an independent, end point assessment.
Apprenticeships are employer led: employers set the standards, create the demand for apprentices to meet their skills needs, fund the apprenticeship and are responsible for employing and training the apprentice. But the needs of the apprentice are equally important: to achieve competence in a skilled occupation, which is transferable and secures long term earning potential, greater security and the capability to progress in the workplace.
