The Sheffield College Apprenticeship programme offers students an exciting opportunity to earn while they learn.

Apprentices study on the job, building up valuable knowledge and skills. They gain
qualifications and are paid a wage at the same time.

Apprentices generally spend four days a week with an employer and study one day a week at College. Training in this way provides students with job matched qualifications and a direct link into employment. The College plays a major role
in supporting local businesses, boosting workforce skills and contributing to the regional economy. Apprentices are a vital part of that and come under the College’s Business Gateway.

The achievement rate of The Sheffield College apprentices programme is above the national average. Their successes are celebrated at an annual presentation
evening that students, their families and employers attend.

Apprentices work towards a qualification at Level 2 or 3 which takes between one to four years to complete.

Course work may include functional skills such as maths and English, working in teams, problem solving, communication, using new technologies, and also ensures
technical and academic progress in their chosen subject.

Apprentices are primarily for young people aged 16-18 but people above this age may also be able to participate. They are paid a minimum wage.

Some students may also be eligible for a small amount of funding for travel or child care costs, and certain benefits if they are on a low income or have children.
