Apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity for individuals to earn and gain vital work experience while still being able to study.
It’s a common misconception that apprenticeships are just for school leavers or young people; however, there’s no upper age limit. Remember, you do need to be 16 or over to enrol on an apprenticeship. Making it a perfect route for anyone looking to upskill themselves in an existing skill or a new one altogether. While apprentices receive the National Minimum Wage, there are different rates of pay. It will depend on your age and what year of the apprenticeship you are in.
