Real work - real pay!

Think about it. Being paid to learn about the job you want to do, while you are actualy doing it.

That’s what apprenticeships are all about!

Apprenticeships are Work Based Learning and are available to 16-24 year olds.

Whilst on an Apprenticeship you can undertake qualifications to help you do your job. These include NVQ qualifications, Key Skills and possibly a Technical Certificate related to the work. NVQs have been designed by employers to measure successful performance in a particular job.

If you are aged 16 - 24 an Apprenticeship might be ideal! To find out more about apprenticeships get in touch with your Personal Adviser or call us FREE on 0800 073 8700 and ask for the vacancy team.

Apprenticeship Pay

There is a Learning and Skills Council (government) requirement that "employed" apprentices should be paid a minimum of £80 per week for full time work.
Sometimes there are agreed rates for certain stages of an apprenticeship. This means you may get pay increases when you have a birthday, achieve a qualification or reach a certain standard.
Minimum wage rules do not apply to all stages of an apprenticeship.
Pay may vary depending on your “status” as an apprentice.

Apprentices under 19 will not qualify for the national minimum wage.
Apprentices over 19 and in the first 12 months of their apprenticeship will not qualify for the national minimum wage.

NOTE: All workers aged 22 and over who qualify for the national minimum wage will be entitled to the current rate of £5.52 per hour. This applies even where the worker was previously in receipt of the development rate for those aged 22 and over and had been receiving that rate for less than 6 months.
