Earn while you learn

Get new skills. Get paid. Simple as that

A young student hoping to enrol for an IT Apprenticeship

Getting paid while you learn might sound too good to be true — but as an apprentice you really do get the best of both worlds.

So if you are keen to enter the world of work but don’t want to stop studying then an Apprenticeship could be the answer. They enable you to start working, earn a decent wage, all whilst learning the skills and gaining the qualifications that employers want. 

If you’re still considering your options, and are under the age of 19, why not talk to a Connexions Direct Adviser? You can get in touch with them by calling on 080 800 13219 or chat with an Adviser online through their website This link opens in a new window
