Earn while you learn with an apprenticeship

At Northumberland Skills, we offer a wide range of apprenticeship training opportunities designed to boost your knowledge and on-the-job skills.

What is an apprenticeship?

If you want to earn a salary whilst gaining a trade or learning new skills to boost your career opportunities, an apprenticeship with Northumberland Skills is a great choice.

​

Apprenticeships offer a mix of training and skills development plus on-the-job work with an employer. This means you’ll have a job with an employer and be a working member of their team, whilst continuing to develop skills essential to your job and personal development.

 

Alongside your job, you'll spend time at Northumberland Skills where you’ll benefit from a tailored programme of training to complement your job role and boost your skills and confidence.

 

You will complete coursework to achieve nationally recognised qualifications, all the while you'll be getting paid by your employer, so it really does offer the best of both worlds.
