An apprenticeship will enable you to gain and develop a range of
skills in your chosen area. You can choose from a wide range of
different apprenticeships. They enable you to achieve nationally
recognised qualifications which are recognised by employers. They
provide a solid foundation for career progression and the
achievement of higher level qualifications. There are two levels;
an Apprenticeship which is equivalent to five GCSEs grade A-C and
an Advanced Apprenticeship which is equivalent to two A Levels.
Apprenticeships are available at Lewisham College in the
following areas:
Benefits to Employers
By offering Apprenticeships you'll find it easier to recruit and
retain the right people for your organisation. You'll avoid skills
shortages because Apprenticeships equip people with the skills,
knowledge and motivation to support your business needs.
Apprentices are an investment in your business future. You can sign
up existing members of staff on to the scheme which provides an
excellent way of developing and motivating your staff.
"Success is all about finding people who will help make any
business grow, especially in times like these. It's important that
employers take Apprenticeships seriously - apprentices make things
happen and can help a business to grow and thrive" Sir Alan
Sugar.
Training on the Apprenticeships Programme for 16 to 18 year olds
is a priority and fully-funded by Government. Training for
Apprenticeships for 19 to 24 year olds is part funded, with
employers expected to make a contribution. Funding for apprentices
aged 25 is very limited and employers are expected to make a part
or full contribution.
