Apprenticeships in Southampton

For apprentices

Ready to kickstart a career in your chosen industry? An apprenticeship could be the perfect route for you!

Apprenticeships are a fantastic alternative to A-Levels that offer a hands-on approach to learning. They are designed for people of all ages who want to work towards a nationally recognised qualification while earning a full-time wage.

Our apprentices go on to careers in local and national organisations, with the skills, experience and confidence they need to thrive.

An apprenticeship could be perfect for you if:

You’re over 16
You know which career path you’re going to take
You’re already in work and want to gain new skills and a qualification

Preparing your CV

An apprenticeship is like applying for a full-time job, you’re not just a student but a potential employee. Even if you don’t have much professional experience to talk about yet, it’s important to create a professional profile that outlines your skills and potential to employers.
