What kind of apprenticeships are available?
From teaching assistants and site maintenance to business support functions and catering staff, there are a range of apprenticeships available. The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education website provides more information on the types of apprenticeships on offer. There is no age limit for apprenticeship training.
What do I need to know?
Apprentices will spend 20% of their time on focussed and purposeful off-the-job training. This gives them the chance to complement on-the-job skills with subject matter knowledge and insights.
We can connect you to a relevant, experienced and trusted training provider to ensure apprentices’ learning journeys are supported every step of the way.

The Essex Provider Network has been set up with the specific aim of providing a single voice for all Essex based learning and training providers including Further Education Colleges with a focus on work-based learning. There are a significant number of provider networks across the country and with changes within the sector, developments within the LEPs and an on-going large percentage of skills based funded provision being delivered by providers from outside of the region, we believe that there has never been a more important time for Essex based providers to work together collaboratively, in building a strong and sustainable network.
