An Apprenticeship is a real job with training. You will receive both on and off the job training which will typically involve attending college for up to one day per week. By the end of your Apprenticeship, you’ll have gained the knowledge, skills and experience needed to either succeed in your chosen career or progress onto the next Apprenticeship.
