Apprenticeships

Consider apprenticeships to gain valuable work experience and earn a nationally recognised qualification. These programmes are designed around employer needs and offer the chance to learn while earning. You can use apprenticeships to train both new and existing employees which means schools can benefit by filling skill gaps and developing local talent. Apprenticeships offer flexibility and value for money and create formal career paths. The Institute for Apprenticeships designs the frameworks, while the National Apprenticeship Service funds the training and provides expert support services.

There are many apprenticeships that can be offered within your school, including teaching assistant, classroom assistant, learning support assistant, behaviour support assistant or coordinator, pastoral or welfare support assistant, bilingual support assistant, ICT or science technician, premises staff, or grounds maintenance staff.
