What is an Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships: Learn, Earn, and Grow
An apprenticeship is a paid job that combines hands-on work with structured learning. You’ll gain real experience, earn a wage, and study toward a recognised qualification - all while building a clear career path. Apprenticeships are available in many industries, from construction to digital technology. At least 20% of your time is set aside for learning, and you’ll receive holiday pay too. Whether you're starting out or changing careers, apprenticeships offer valuable skills and strong job prospects for the future
Advantages of an Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships offer a practical, career-focused route into work - combining paid employment with structured training.
You’ll earn a salary, gain valuable hands-on experience, and work towards a nationally recognised qualification with Bolton College, all without paying tuition fees or building up student debt.
Available across a wide range of industries - from construction and healthcare to digital marketing and engineering - apprenticeships suit school leavers, career changers, and those looking to upskill. Programmes range from level 2 to level 4 providing clear progression and long-term career opportunities. At least 20% of your time is dedicated to learning, either in a classroom, online, or through practical training tailored to your role. Many apprentices go on to secure permanent positions, and employers benefit too - gaining skilled, motivated staff and access to government support.
Whether you’re starting your career or looking to grow within your current field, apprenticeships offer a flexible and rewarding way to develop your skills and future.
