Modern Apprenticeships
Modern Apprenticeships help employers to develop their workforce by training new staff, and upskilling existing employees. For individuals, an MA is a job which lets them earn a wage and gain an industry-recognised qualification.
Each year, over 25,000 people start a Modern Apprenticeship - combining a qualification with on-the-job experience. This lets people work, learn and earn at the same time. We contribute towards the costs of their training, through a training provider who works with the business.
There are over 80 Modern Apprenticeship frameworks - from healthcare and financial services to construction and IT. These have been developed by sector skills councils, in consultation with their industry.
This means that MAs can build valuable work experience from day one and gain an accredited qualification which is recognised by industry. They'll develop skills and expertise for their current and future jobs. Modern Apprenticeships are available at four different levels, some equivalent to a degree.
To learn more about Modern Apprenticeships, visit our Careers Advisor, Katrina Wilson in room C025 or the "Careers Drop In" session in the library Tuesday lunchtime.
