The Government has recently announced plans to further expand Apprenticeships in the UK by increasing the number of employers involved from 130,000 to 400,000 by 2020. So with more focus, support and funds in place for Apprenticeships, there has never been a better time to take one up.
An Apprenticeship is a work-based training programme. It provides the learner with practical skills through on-the-job training combined with theoretical knowledge through off-the-job learning.
For someone looking to enter a career in the Automotive Industry, an Apprenticeship is an ideal way of doing so. An Apprenticeship gives the learner the best of both worlds, learning and working, enabling them to earn money whilst gaining qualifications.
Each of the four Nations in the United Kingdom have different requirements for completing an Apprenticeship framework.
Keep up to date with the latest Apprenticeship updates from the IMI.
