Apprenticeships

Apprentices learn through a combination of on- and off-the-job education and training. On the job they work alongside your existing staff and the rest they learn from a local learning provider such as the University of Glamorgan, Coleg Morganwg or other tertiary education institute, usually on a day release basis.

Apprentices help you stay competitive by developing the kind of people your business needs for the future. There are two levels of Apprenticeships for apprentices and advanced apprentices. Apprenticeships offer a fantastic range of training in 80 different sectors of industry, covering a huge range of subjects from Health and Social Care to Business Administration.
