National Apprenticeship Week: 8 to 14 February

Apprenticeships combine on the job learning with training and focus on specific careers or trades. There are different entry requirements depending on the sector and job. All apprenticeships are paid and lead to a formal qualification. These can be equivalent to five GCSEs, working up to a postgraduate qualification (depending on the type of apprenticeship you complete).

Explore apprenticeships and how they can propel your career. Check out the following events taking place during national apprenticeship week:

• Register for the Southwark apprenticeship fair 2–4.30pm, 10 February to find out about roles in construction, health, councils and the voluntary sector.
• Meet employers, get help with your CV, and find out about financial support – register for a virtual jobs and apprenticeships fair, 2–4pm on 9 February, hosted by Southwark College and the Department for Work and Pensions.
• The London Apprenticeships Ambassador Network is hosting online events throughout the week, exploring life as an apprentice, careers in construction, and how to write a good apprenticeship application.
