All You Need
To Know About Apprenticeships

What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is a combination of on and off the job training which not only offers a structured route to a successful career, but can also act as a stepping stone for those who may want to go on to university. Paid from day one, Apprenticeships are now seen as a viable, debt free route to getting on to the career ladder.

Access all areas

The Motor industry has opportunities for students from all sorts of disciplines. To help you get your career up to speed, we’ve provided a low-down on what the automotive sector is – and how to get into it. It really is a dynamic sector which can offer openings for everyone. By Dominic Luddy, Sector Careers Manager at Automotive Skills.

We'er in the money business

The world of retail banking has moved on. Why not move with it?

The financial services industry is focused on saving, protecting and generating income. Virtually every adult has at least one financial product, and companies could not exist without the protection and income the sector provides. It is one of the country's biggest exports and is vital to the economy.

Rewarding the Right Skills

High-Achieving Apprenticeships attend glittering Award ceremony
The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has announced winners of the 2007 national Apprenticeship Awards. England’s top apprentices and apprentice employers were recognised at a glittering ceremony in London last month.

Now in their fourth year, the Awards are designed to recognise the hard work and commitment of young people currently on, or who have recently completed an Apprenticeship, and employers who are successfully using Apprenticeships to improve business performance. This year the awards attracted more than 1,000 entries.

If you've used the skills gained through your Apprenticeship to make a difference to your employer and you're proud of your achievements, we want to know.

Lloyds TSB Profile

We didn’t get where we are today by resorting to corporate clichés. The fact of the matter is we’re much more than the solid, well-respected banking chain beloved on high streets up and down the country. We’re a bank with personality. Over 70,000 of them actually. All of them doing their not-so-little bit to deliver every kind of financial service to every kind of corporate and individual customer across the UK and overseas.

Get new skills. Get paid. Simple as that

Getting paid while you learn might sound too good to be true — but as an apprentice you really do get the best of both worlds.

If you have the dedication to succeed in the world of work, and you're not afraid to commit yourself to one, two or even five years of training and study, then an Apprenticeship could be for you.
