WHY CONSIDER AN APPRENTICESHIP?

Apprenticeships offer a fantastic opportunity to gain key employability skills whilst earning a wage. More and more companies are recognising the benefits of Apprenticeships over traditional qualifications such as higher education degrees, enabling them to develop the skills their business needs both now and in the future.

As a Training Provider, Gi Group delivers hundreds of Apprenticeships each year. We are also a recruitment company, which means that we recruit Apprentices on behalf of employers and for Gi Group. It also means that we are able to help Apprentices secure permanent positions at the end of their Apprenticeship.

WHAT IS THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME?

Apprenticeships combine “on the job” training with study. As an Apprentice you will work alongside experienced staff and gain job-specific skills whilst earning a wage. Essentially, an Apprenticeship is a full-time job combined with training and assessments.
