• Traineeships are new and offer young people between 16-24 as route into Apprenticeships, Employment and a career.
• Apprenticeships are available for 16-18 year old's and for adults aged 19 and over
• An Apprenticeship delivers quality assured training at level 2 and level 3.
• Higher Apprenticeships offer courses up to Level 5 in a range of specialist areas.
• The Apprenticeship Works find quality employment opportunities for young people to climb the career ladder.

There are a whole range of career opportunities available outside of the classroom.
