ApprenticeshipsWhat are Apprenticeships? •Apprentices are employed for at least 30 hours per week and earn a wage.•Apprenticeships work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills.•Apprentices attend a specialist college or training organisation on a day-release basis. Sometimes the training is delivered and assessed in house by the employer. •Apprenticeships may take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of the Apprenticeship, the learners ability and industry sector. •Apprentices will be in employment for most of the time as most training takes place ‘on the job’. National Apprenticeship Service - www.apprenticeships.org.uk
Employment or Volunteering with Training
If the young people chooses to work (be ‘self employed’ or ‘employed’) or volunteer for 20+ hours per week and for more than 8 weeks in a row, you must take part in some part-time study/ training.
If an employer does not deliver in- house recognised training they will need to ensure they provide 16-17 year old employees with the opportunity to study/ train off site for 280 hours per year (equivalent to approximately 1.day per week). Access can be flexible e.g. day/half – day release, twilight sessions or block release.
What will training involve?
Exactly what the training will involve and where it will take place will be for the young person and the employer to decide.
•Young people may continue with Maths(Numeracy) and English (Literacy) if they have not already achieved level 2 in these subjects.•Undertake Vocational qualifications relating to employment.
All training must be accredited (approved by an Awarding Organisation) and will develop the young persons work and employment skills appropriately.
Why do young people now have to stay in education or training for longer at 16?
The demand for highly skilled employees is
growing
Need to make sure young people have the knowledge and skills to
deal with the future employment market
Competition for jobs is greaterThan ever before
The more highly skilled and trained young people are the more they increase your ability to get a job
and earn more
Why continue learning?

If you think your young person will struggle with other costs of full time learning e.g as travel or equipment, they may be able to get support from a Bursary. Contact the post-16 provider for details.
If your young person becomes employed or follows an Apprenticeship they will receive a wage and will not have to pay any training costs.
