What is an apprenticeship?

Apprenticehsips.gov.uk says – ‘an apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience, and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you’ll have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.’

There’s lots more general information on the government website about apprenticeships, including who can apply, becoming an apprentice, and the different levels of apprenticeship available.
