To expand access to skills development and career progression, we’re excited to now offer a range of business and professional services apprenticeships nationwide through remote delivery.

Apprenticeships are a great way to break into an industry you're interested in so getting off to a strong start will help kick start your future career. We have compiled a list of top tips to help you on your way to finding an apprenticeship and succeeding while on the job.

The short answer: yes!  

Apprenticeships have come a long way in recent years and are no longer just associated with trades like plumbing or carpentry. They’re available in a huge range of sectors, including accountancy, computing, IT and engineering, to name a few! 

There are many types of apprenticeships depending on the level you wish to study. Many apprenticeships offer pathways to progress onto a higher level course depending on your industry - so getting more informed about these potential avenues is key to your future career.

Whether you are line managing a freshly recruited apprentice or an existing member of staff who is upskilling through an apprenticeship, you play an important role in their success and progress.

Upskilling is the training or education given to employees to help develop and build upon their existing skills. Employers can benefit from the training and reap the rewards it brings to staff and the business. 

Last week our three campuses were abuzz with excitement as students from catering and hospitality, hairdressing, beauty and make up artistry took part in our annual Skills Week!

As we head into 2025, apprenticeships are key to shaping future skills, and this article explores how we're addressing local workforce needs.

Returning to education is a fantastic way of improving your prospects if you’re looking to upskill or start a career in something new. Access to Higher Education courses help you transition back into the classroom whilst gaining the study skills and knowledge you need to move onto higher education.
