What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job where you learn on the go. You’ll get hands-on experience in a role you’re interested in while also spending at least 20% of your working hours in classroom-based learning with a college, university, or training provider. By the end, you’ll earn a nationally recognised qualification.
Why apprenticeships work:
- Earn while you learn
- Get real-world experience in your chosen field
- Achieve a qualification that employers value
What our apprentices say
"I feel well supported during the course. Susan and Jane have made me feel welcome and I continue to feel this support every Friday when we have our online meetings. There is no such thing as a silly question, and I feel comfortable asking for further reassurance and guidance if I do not understand something. I have often emailed both Susan and Jane with questions and queries about assessments outside of office hours and always receive a prompt response, which helps me to develop further."

What our employers say
"This programme has been hugely powerful and beneficial for our two schools. The Apprenticeship programme has meant we have been able to expand our model of Chaplaincy so that we may be able to better support the Catholic Life and Spiritual Development of our two schools."
St Gregory's RC Secondary School
"I have watched my apprentices grow in both confidence, strength and understanding. As a Chaplain I was never given this training and to see how it is impacting and empowering those I am supporting is amazing."
