Apprentices

As an employee you earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain your apprenticeship. Off-the-job training, usually on a day-release basis with a Training Supplier who is contracted by the Department for Employment and Learning, (DEL) sees apprentices receive training towards recognised qualifications. The Training Supplier provides the knowledge and skills while the employer provides the hands on practical experience.

Specialist organisations can provide additional support if you need it.

Do you meet the criteria?

  • Are you employed in Northern Ireland?
  • Have you obtained the minimum school leaving age?
  • Are you about to take up or be in paid employment?
  • Will you be working a minimum of 21 hours per week?
  • Do you meet all the entry requirements of your chosen occupational area?

Then you can follow an apprenticeship programme.
