How Apprenticeships Work

Think of an Apprenticeship as a smart way to start your career while continuing to learn.

Earn. Learn. Gain experience.

Instead of sitting in a classroom full-time, you’ll work in a real job, earn a salary and gain hands-on experience from day one.
At the same time, you’ll complete training that helps you build skills and achieve recognised qualifications.

01 — WORK

Work in a real job

Build practical experience and learn how your industry really works.

02 — LEARN

Keep learning

Complete training alongside your job and work towards recognised qualifications.

03 — EARN

Earn a salary

You’re an employee, so you get paid while you develop your skills.

Learn it. Then put it into practice.

Most apprentices split their time between work and learning, so no two weeks are exactly the same.

That mix of learning and doing is one of the biggest differences between an apprenticeship and full-time study.
