Apprenticeships / Training
(for full details please click Careers Wales logo to be re-directed to their website for further an up to date information on apprenticeships)
Overview
Fancy doing your learning on the job, gaining valuable skills and experience and getting paid a training allowance or a wage while you do it?
Then think about work-based training with a local or national company on an apprenticeship or training programme working towards an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification).
NVQs show you have the skills to do a certain job, for example shop work, building, care and office work.
You will either do your training directly on the job or attend college or a training centre on a part time basis.
16 -17 year olds not in education or employment are guaranteed a training place.
Depending on your circumstances, training places are also available for 18 -24 year olds.
Availability of placements in certain jobs may vary depending on the area you live.
All training and apprenticeship programmes also include key skills linked to that qualification.
Careers Wales provides a vacancy service for 16-19 year olds looking for training/apprenticeships.
Speak to your Careers Adviser if you are interested in Apprenticeships and training they can tell you what’s available locally and what might suit you.
