Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications and workplace skills. Open to people of all ages, you can earn as you learn and gain practical experience from the workplace whilst increasing your confidence and setting you on the road to a successful career. What Are Apprenticeships? As an alternative to full-time education, Apprentices get real paid work experience whilst studying towards a nationally recognised qualification, which are highly valued by employers in today’s competitive jobs market. An Apprenticeship can last between 12 months and four years, dependant on the type of Apprenticeship. Training combines off the job study (usually at college) with learning and development in the workplace. Therefore, as an Apprentice you will be in the workplace for most of the time, working alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Throughout the duration of your Apprenticeship you will have the support of a highly experienced assessor who will visit you in your work place and review the skills you have learnt. 4 How Much Do Apprentices Get Paid? If you’re under 19 your employer has to pay you at least the Apprentice minimum wage. However, as your training progresses many employers tend to increase wages in-line with developing skills and industry specific knowledge. Recent research indicated that many Apprentices in England earn an average net pay £170 per week. If you’re 19 when you’ve completed the first year of your Apprenticeship, your employer has to pay you at least the full national minimum wage. You’ll also get at least 20 days paid holiday a year, plus bank holidays – the same as any other employee. How Many Hours Does An Apprentice Work? All Apprentices work a minimum of 30 hours a week, this includes any training time at college (off-the-job) and with the employer (on-the-job). You must be paid for all the time you spend training, whether it is at college or in the workplace. • A National Vocational Qualification (Level 2 for Apprenticeships, Level 3 for Advanced Apprenticeships) • Key Transferable Skills • A Technical Certificate • Functional Skills These strands are sometimes accompanied by additional elements to give the most relevant skills and knowledge required for the job. You’ll also receive specific on-the-job training related to your role. W What Are The Benefits Of An Apprenticeship? • You get to experience new and different challenges • Your existing skills and knowledge are recognised and can help you gain a qualification faster • You learn at your own pace and get support when you need it • Better job security • You gain skills and knowledge which can be used across a range of jobs and industries • You will be earning a regular income whilst getting the training you need to further your career What Qualifications Will I Gain? An Apprenticeship is essentially a set of qualifications called a ‘framework’ developed by Sector Skills Councils and Industry. Most Apprenticeship frameworks follow a standard format that comprises: 3 01 2 K, U G. OR S.

Or you might get involved on the planning side – looking at the environmental and social impact of new developments, for example. Practical skills are important in this sector, and many roles require physical work. But there is a demand for creative talents too in jobs like carpentry or even making the sets for plays and films. Being organised and self-motivated can help you get ahead – about a third of the people who work in the sector run their own business. The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Site Carpentry & Joinery • Bench Carpentry & Joinery • Bricklaying • Plastering • Painting & Decorating • General Construction Operations • Maintenance Operations • Electrical Installation • Plumbing & Heating (Including Renewable Technologies) • Gas Installations • Heating & Ventilation • Technical & Professional Construction • Sustainable & Built Environment 8 Future Progression Progression can be varied from gaining further education and skills with Advanced Apprenticeships, Higher Education, or embarking on a career based on the skills you have learned in your Apprenticeship. You may even go on to start up your own business.

I enjoy learning on the job and have learnt a lot of new skills from working alongside my colleagues; I would recommend an Apprenticeship to anyone interested in learning a practical trade.” John Jones Apprentice Plumber, Pendleton Together Project 9 Childcare and Health & Social Care People who work in Health, Public Services and Care go home at the end of the week with more than just a pay cheque. They know their work helps other people and makes our society a better place. It takes more than doctors to keep our health service running. Apprenticeships could lead into a range of careers in health – dispensing medicines in a pharmacy, giving eye tests, working as a dental nurse and many more. The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Children and Young People’s Workforce • Health & Social Care Children and Young People’s Workforce This Apprenticeship is for people who work with children – from birth to 16-year-olds (and their families) – in settings or services whose main purpose is children’s care, learning and development. Workers in this area make sure children are looked after, kept active, happy and nourished. They also help children develop social and practical skills. This Apprenticeship gives people a fulfilling opportunity to work with children and young people while also gaining an understanding into the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of their 10 development. Equally, it ensures candidates put childcare theory into practice. As an apprentice, the exact nature of your job role will depend on your employer. The Intermediate Level Apprenticeship is for those working under supervision such as a nursery assistant or playgroup assistant working with children under five. Future Progression The Advanced Level Apprenticeship is for those who work on their own initiative, planning and organising their own work and/or supervising others, for example, a nursery nurse, playgroup leader or a child minder working in their own home. After successful completion of this Apprenticeship there is good scope for progression. You may move up through the levels of work, for example, from nursery assistant to nursery manager. There are also opportunities to undertake further training or assessment. Example Job Roles • Early Years Worker/Assistant • Care Worker/Assistant • Assistant Youth Support & Community Worker • Nursery Worker/Supervisor • Nursery Nurse/Nursery Teaching Assistant Health and Social Care Level Apprenticeships is the level of responsibility the person holds and the role at which they work.

This could mean working in the NHS, the private sector, local authorities or in the voluntary sectors.

This type of care usually takes place in the home or in care homes or out in the community, and can include anything from helping people get dressed to transporting them to and from a residential home or taking them shopping.

Example Job Roles • Healthcare Support Worker • Healthcare Assistant • Care Assistant • Personal Assistant • Relief Team Worker • Night Care Assistant • Support Worker – Supported Living • Key Workers in Residential, Domiciliary or Day Services • Home Care Support Worker • Substance Misuse Worker • Mental Health Support or Outreach Worker • Re-enablement Worker VE RV I EC ON OM Y 20 SE 13 CT /1 OR 4 O 11 NE W M Future Progression Completion of the Advanced Apprenticeship will stand you in good stead for progression onto Higher Education in subjects like nursing or midwifery and operating department practitioner roles in the care sector or management roles in care homes. The main difference between the Intermediate Level and Advanced EW , On the Health Care pathway, you could work in hospitals, the community, hospices or private clinics as a healthcare support worker or a healthcare assistant. You could be supporting doctors or nurses or helping patients in hospital wards or their homes. Professional, Management & Financial Services This sector covers the many different occupations that keep businesses running efficiently and profitably, and keep staff and customers happy. Most jobs in this sector are office-based with a typical 9 to 5, Monday to Friday working week. It is important to be punctual and presentable, and you’ll need to be a good team player. The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Accountancy • Leadership & Management • Business Administration • Customer Services Accountancy Accounting itself is a highly skilled profession, with accounting staff working at many different levels. You will learn how to balance accounts, process invoices and payments, complete VAT returns, and help prepare financial statements and reports. Depending on whether you work for a large or small company, you could be specialising in one area – like sales – or doing all these tasks as well as handling banking and petty cash. If you complete the Higher Apprenticeship, you can progress to full membership of the Association of 12 Accounting Technicians. You could then complete a professional accountancy qualification with a chartered body such as ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, AIA or ICAS. Future Progression This Progression can lead to a specialist role in accounting. It’s also possible to enter a Higher Education course in a subject related to accounting, banking, insurance, or other financial services. If you’re interested in a finance career, an Apprenticeship is a great way to get into the market. Example Job Roles • Accounts Assistants • Credit Control Clerks • Accounts Clerks • Finance Assistants • Sales Ledger Clerk • Purchase Ledger Clerk Apprentice Case Study “My Apprenticeship is helping me to focus on my long term career prospects; I am learning new things and training to do the job I want in the future. Apprenticeships are a great alternative to university; I feel my Apprenticeship will help me to achieve my career goals.” Christian Gee-Barker Accountancy Apprentice, Salford City College NE W EC ON OM Y SE CT OR OV ER VI EW ,2 01 3/ 14 D OF AN L EE AS R % L NA S S S TO 89 IA IO M IP EC NC SS FIR ESH E S NA FE E C H FI O IC TI T Y T PR RV EN TO ER OU SE PR ED E V B AP IT AR E A UE SU D TIV AL AN SI R V PO EI TH Leadership & Management This Apprenticeship can be applied across a broad range of sectors and job roles.

The Intermediate Level Team Leading Apprenticeship involves supporting organisational objectives through a wide range of functions, including: monitoring work, giving feedback, briefing teams, supporting team members, resolving problems, procuring supplies, project management and delivering and improving customer service. The Advanced Level Management Apprenticeship will develop your skills to include planning, allocating and monitoring the work of a team, supporting team members, managing conflict, resolving problems, project management, agreeing budgets and managing customer service. Future Progression Progress to the top by achieving a Higher Apprenticeship in Management.

Job Roles • Section Leader • Floor Manager • Help Desk Manager • Trainee Supervisor • Team Co-ordinator • First Line Manager • Assistant Manager • Trainee Manager • Senior Supervisor 13 Business Administration Future Progression The Progression could include moving on to a Business Administration Advanced Apprenticeship, taking the Level 4 professional qualification in Diploma in Administration Management, achieving the Level 4 Business Administration and moving into higher education to take higher level qualifications moving to a Foundation Degree in Business Management. Supervisory and management positions may be achieved in the future. As a Business Administration Apprentice, your exact duties will depend on your employer. It is likely that you will be working with a team or member of staff to handle various tasks. You may be typing up board meeting documents, putting financial information together in spreadsheets, sending the daily post, or faxing and photocopying confidential documents. This sort of work requires a strong sense of responsibility, accuracy and attention to detail. Example Job Roles • Admin Assistant • Clerical Clerk • Data Entry Clerk • Filing Record Clerk • Junior Secretary • Office Clerk • Receptionist • Office Manager This Apprenticeship is about playing an important support role within a business or organisation. Administrators handle the day-to-day tasks in an office and make sure things run efficiently. Business and administration skills are essential to the growth of the UK economy with 97% of all employers stating that business administration is critical to the effective function of their business. Apprentice Case Study “For me, an Apprenticeship was the ideal option as I like learning on the job whilst being paid a wage. Apprenticeships make you more independent as you have the responsibility of a job, they make you grow up and progress more quickly.” Abbey Moss Business Administration Apprentice, Salford City College 14 Customer Service This Apprenticeship teaches you the skills to provide excellent customer service, and can be applied to hundreds of job roles across many different sectors, from government to telecommunications. However, most Customer Service Apprentices work in retail, financial services, call centres, hospitality, or sport and recreation. As a Customer Service Apprentice, you will probably work at the front end of an employer’s business activities and regularly assist customers. Duties will vary between sectors, but in most cases you will be making sure that customers are dealt with in a positive, reliable and pleasant way – whether that is by offering advice, answering questions or handling complaints. Future Progression Completing this Apprenticeship is a way of providing evidence of skills that will serve you well in virtually any industry – so it is a very good way to move forward, even into potential management roles.

The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Catering & Hospitality • Retail Management • Sport Development • Sport Coaching • Hairdressing • Beauty Therapy Hospitality Work in hospitality is incredibly broad, and can cover hotels, restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels, clubs and more! Essentially the business is all about customer service, whether this is making sure food is served on time or that a hotel room is ready to use. The advantage of an Apprenticeship in this sector is the formal qualifications you will receive. While the hospitality trade is well known for training up employees, often from scratch, only 3% of that training leads to nationally recognised qualifications. This even extends to managers, who can often be under trained for their position. 16 Future Progression This Apprenticeship gives Apprentices a real kick-start in this sector, with scope for quick progression to Advanced Apprenticeships and successful careers such as restaurant or hotel supervisor/ managers. Job Roles • Hospitality Services Assistant • Waiter/Silver Service Waiter • Bar/Cellar Person • Housekeeper/Room Attendant • Receptionist • Head Housekeeper • Head of Reception • Front of House Manager • Duty or Hotel Supervisor/Manager • Regional Supervisor/Manager in a Restaurant or Pub Chain • Team Leader in Hospitality Retail Outlets • Supervisor of Hospitality Retail Outlets Catering Working as a chef is a highly skilled, practical career-path that is in demand the world over.

Chefs are needed in every food establishment, from local pubs to silver service Michelin Star restaurants! In recent years, there has been a real focus on meals being made from scratch, not least because of the negative health implications that comes along with S & SE ER OF ITY ES T PS % AL IN ES HI ND 85 IT US CH ES A SP M B AN TIC OR ORK HO IS R M EN CT W UR TE PR SE ER E TO EA AP HE FF PL GR AT O T N O EO IN TH T CA G P EL ED Y UN FE UIT THE YO S E EL TO AR F E E % NC 78 RIE PE EX NE W ON EC Y OM OR CT SE ER OV E VI ,2 W /1 3 01 reheated foods, so the demand for highly trained chefs is rising quickly. 4 Future Progression With an Apprenticeship in Catering and Professional Chefs, you will gain the practical experience needed to progress, as well as the theory behind the dishes you create.

Around 1.4 million new positions are expected to open up in retail in the next 3 years, and to keep up with demand, around 400,000 new supervisory and leadership employees are needed every year. Research has shown that retail employers actively use Apprenticeships as a source of future talent in Retail Management, and retailers are keen to make a long-term commitment to their Apprentices. Future Progression Retail is famously a sector which rewards dedication and hard work with quick career progression. This is especially the case with younger people, with individuals in their late teens and 18 early twenties often finding themselves in positions such as section or team leader. The Higher Apprenticeship is especially suited for management positions, and provides Apprentices with the business and managerial skills they need to progress. Job Roles • Retail Supervisor • Team Leader • Store/Department Manager • Sales Manager • Assistant Store Manager • Operations Manager Apprentice Case Study Sport Development Sports development involves organising projects, programmes and training to encourage people to increase their activity and have a healthier lifestyle. The work is challenging and varied and may include the development of performance sport, community sport and physical activity and/or participation for particular target groups. Sports development officers will typically be responsible for working with local communities to identify the need and demand for new activities, improving access to sport for young people, people with disabilities and people from disadvantaged communities, and supporting community amateur sports clubs. Typical tasks involved in sports development can include; making sure resources are used and all available funding is accessed; putting local and national policies into practice; identifying opportunities for funding; organising, promoting and running projects; monitoring and evaluating projects; attending meetings, seminars and conferences and finding and training suitable staff, coaches and volunteers for projects. You may also need to manage resources and budgets. “I chose an Apprenticeship as I enjoy learning through gaining practical experience and being able to implement new skills in a work environment. I have also been able to access unique opportunities since starting my Apprenticeship, which wouldn’t have been available to me otherwise.” James Molyneux Apprentice Rugby League Development Officer, Salford Red Devils Foundation Future Progression The Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Sports Development provides a vocational pathway into the profession of sports development. The Apprenticeship can provide a progression opportunity for Apprentices on an intermediate level programme as well as progression for those already working in the sector. It’s also suitable for those who wish to change their career and retrain to enter the sector at this level. Job Roles • Community Sports Development Officer • Sports Specific Development Officer 19 Sport Coaching A career in coaching is geared towards those who are looking for sports leadership opportunities. Generally, work in this area is community based, e.g. coaching a local football team or working for a regional sports society. Across schools, youth clubs, leisure centres and sports clubs there are around 1.1 million coaches currently in the UK. The Government has put in place plans to get many more adults active, as well as young people, so there is a big call for trained coaches at all levels. The demand for competent, qualified sports coaches has risen because of the popularity of sports in the UK, and the fact that often coaches are volunteers and so may be under-skilled. The Apprenticeship level you need to obtain depends on both the sport you want to coach and the level you want to coach at, as some sports are more technical than others. 20 Future Progression Progression in this Apprenticeship could lead to coaching roles in different types of sports clubs or educational establishments. Once you are a qualified and experienced coach, you could become a coach development officer. In this role you would help other coaches develop their skills and qualifications. Job Roles • Football Coach • Rugby Coach • Community Sports Coach • Swimming Coach • Club Coach/Instructor • Tennis Coach • Fitness Coach Hairdressing This Apprenticeship covers all the basics of hairdressing. As a Hairdressing Apprentice, you will work as a salon junior, assisting senior staff while training as a junior stylist. Duties are likely to include booking appointments, shampooing, conditioning, drying and styling hair, and mixing and applying hair colouring. You will study hairdressing topics such as hair and skin testing, the effects of chemicals on hair and skin, and the principles of hair colour selection – there’s also the option to learn about promoting products, perming, or relaxing different types of hair. Future Progression Advanced Apprentices take their learning a step further by developing their cutting and colouring skills so they can carry out all the latest fashion techniques – and maybe even determine the fashion looks of the future. Example Job Roles • Junior Stylist • Stylist • Hairdresser Beauty Therapy This Apprenticeship is about improving people’s wellbeing by making them look and feel better. Beauty therapy covers a range of treatments, from simple facials and make-up jobs to waxing. As a Beauty Therapy Apprentice, you will assist senior therapists and learn a range of skills and techniques, such as how to improve facial skin conditions, wax body hair, spray tan, shape and colour brows, perform hand and foot treatments, and apply make-up. You will work closely with clients and will need the ability to put them at ease, and generally be pleasant and personable. Most therapists are based in salons, although some can work in hospitals, resorts, and even cruise liners. It can be a glamorous career choice: with further training you might become a make-up artist for film and TV, or help develop new products. In the future you might run your own salon, or work for individual clients. Future Progression On the Advanced Apprenticeship, you will work as a beauty therapist, learning techniques like body massage as well as more complicated electronic treatments to remove unwanted hair or improve skin condition. After successful completion of an Apprenticeship, you could go on to study specialist areas like massage, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy or reflexology. Example Job Roles • Junior Beauty Therapist • Beauty Consultant • Junior Make-up Artist • Beauty Therapist • Make-up Artist • Beauty Massage Therapist Apprentice Case Study “I am really enjoying my Apprenticeship as I feel it has helped me to progress quickly as I am able to implement the new skills I am learning immediately and with real clients.” Libby Robinson Apprentice Beauty Therapist, The Doll House 21 OR CT 4 SE /1 Y 13 OM , 20 O N EW EC VI W ER NE OV E N IO ES ER PL AT AT EAT , EO UC ER R MY 0 P ED N G O 0 E GE OR N 0,0 TH OR N F ECO 10 CT LIO ’S NG SE BIL TER OYI .6 ES PL £3 CH EM AN M Education The Education and Training sector isn’t just about teachers. In schools, classroom assistants have a big responsibility, helping teachers to plan and conduct their lessons. They work with individual students and groups of all ages. Education doesn’t have to happen in a classroom. People in every walk of life need to train and improve their skills. That could mean a company director attending a seminar on how to make their business greener, older workers going on a course to brush up their IT skills, or restaurant staff taking certificates in food hygiene. Then there are the skills that people learn within the workplace: how the new computer system works, how to operate machinery safely, how to deal with customer complaints. There’s a growing demand for people who can design and deliver this sort of on-the-job training effectively. The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Support Teaching & Learning • Learning Development 22 Support Teaching & Learning This Apprenticeship is about providing support in the classroom. After all, teachers are not the only ones who make a difference to learning in schools. Learning support staff, such as teaching assistants, plays a vital role in todays classrooms by making sure students get the most out of their lessons. They work with teachers, carry out duties like lesson preparation, and work with small groups or individuals, allowing the teacher to concentrate on teaching the class. Some learning support staff specialise in areas like music or special needs. As an Apprentice, you’ll work under the close supervision of a class teacher. Your duties will vary depending on how the teachers you work with plan their lessons and handle day-to-day classroom activities, however, you could find yourself supervising arts and crafts activities, helping with outings, or reading to the class. Future Progression The Advanced Level Apprenticeship adds more responsibility to the role. You could help plan, carry out and evaluate a wide range of learning activities. You will work both alongside the teacher to support classroom activities, and alone with individuals or groups of students. It’s a good stepping-stone to a Foundation Degree or Higher Level Teaching Assistant training. Example Job Roles • Teaching Assistant • Classroom Assistant • Learning Support Assistant • Behaviour Support Assistant/ Coordinator • Pastoral/Welfare Support Assistant • Bilingual Support Assistant • Team Leader Learning Development This Apprenticeship is designed for those interested in the training/learning and development within the work-based learning industry. Encouraged by Government initiatives aimed at re-skilling and up-skilling the national workforce, involvement in training and developing others in the workplace is a growing field of employment. It is often the case that skilled personnel are required to train others without themselves receiving training in how to train. wishing to take on a wider training role and move on eventually into management. Future Progression At the end of your Apprenticeship, you could be working in a stand-alone training organisation, in a corporate training department or as an in house stand-alone trainer. An Apprenticeship in Learning and Development would also provide a sound basis to undertake further learning and development of your career. Example Job Roles • Training Development Officer • Training Officer • Learning Support Supervisor • Assessor/Verifier • Work-based Learning Co-ordinator • Learning and Development Adviser • Skills Trainer/Instructor This Apprenticeship has been developed to redress this balance and would give you recognition of the skills of the workplace trainer. This Apprenticeship would also be for you if you were 23 Creative & Digital Media Chances are that you have already heard of social media. It is one of the fastest growing advertising and marketing tools that businesses have at their disposal. Many companies now have whole social media and digital marketing (which is any marketing using an electronic device) teams, who are hired to, amongst other things, increase the company’s online presence on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Because social media is constantly evolving, and is still very new in business terms, companies are very keen to find young people to fill digital marketing positions, as they are the most clued in when it comes to new developments. The Apprenticeships covered in this sector area are as follows: • Social Media • Digital Marketing Future Progression An Apprenticeship in this role will allow you to become a specialist in all electronic marketing techniques, as well as helping you to develop your communication and research skills. 24 Example Job Roles • Social Media Assistant • Social Media Consultant • Social Media Analyst • Digital Account Assistant • Digital Marketing Assistant • Digital Communications Officer • Community Engagement Officer • Search Engine Optimisation Assistant • Acquisition Assistant • Email Campaign Assistant • Online Marketing Coordinator • Search Marketing Assistant • Display Marketing Assistant • Content Marketing Assistant 25 NE W Y OM EC ON SE CT OR VI E OV ER /1 01 3 W ,2 4 TH 8, ER BU 00 E A M SI 0 D RE OV AN NES IGI AP ER CH SE TAL PR 45 EST S I A OX ,0 ER N G ND IM 00 , E R C AT PE MP EAT REA ELY OP LO ER TI VE LE YIN G How to Apply Apply Online We work with a wide range of employers providing a recruitment service for their business needs.
