Apprenticeships are jobs which combine training with a qualification. So you’ll earn a wage, develop your skills, update your CV and experience, and start on the career ladder.

Apprenticeships can usually last anything from one to four years, or seven years at Degree Levels. They’re suitable for school leavers finishing their GCSEs and A Levels, those who are working, and even people looking to start afresh in a new career. You receive first-hand knowledge and support - you really can get a head start in your future career.

We work with over 2,000 employers across Dorset and the surrounding areas, and offer over 30 different apprenticeships across 10 sectors, including degree-level apprenticeships in Nursing and Engineering.
