Information for Parents

Information for Parents : Apprenticeships have changed and are continuing to evolve into the education route of choice for school leavers.  No longer is university or college the only or preferred option and apprenticeships are now a key route into a successful career.

Apprenticeships are available in a huge range of areas and are no longer just for engineering or manual occupations.  There are choices in service sector organisations in roles such as Business Administration, Management and Healthcare.

Salaries

An apprentice will hold a contract of employment with one of our partner employers and will earn at least the National Minimum Wage for apprentices which currently stands at , however many of our employers pay much more than this and some on higher apprenticeships can earn up to £500 per week.

Leaving school
