Apprenticeships are a great way to gain new
qualifications, while getting experience and
earning money. And we're well known for
making people more employable through our
award-winning apprenticeships.
We work with hundreds of Gloucestershire's best
businesses to offer apprenticeships across 17 industries.
Our focus is on shaping apprentices to meet real business
needs, and we have a lot of experience with all kinds of
businesses.
What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships today aren't just for trade jobs
like plumbing and carpentry, although we offer
apprenticeships for those too. You can find over 40
apprenticeships at Gloucestershire College, covering a
huge variety of industries and job roles. They are a great
alternative to university or full-time study.
An apprenticeship is made up of several qualifications,
which you complete while working in a proper job, for
a real company. You'll spend most of your time with an
employer, and depending on the apprenticeship you have
chosen, you'll spend some time at college to complete
your learning.
A foot in the door.
Have you ever looked at an entry-level job vacancy that
asks for a minimum of two years' experience? Employers
report that the single most important factor affecting
the recruitment of young people is work experience.
Young people who build links with organisations and
professionals in the sectors they are interested in can
build a more effective network - offering a better
chance of getting the recommendation they may
need to progress further in their career.
In fact, 9 out of 10 Gloucestershire College
apprentices stay with their employer after they've
completed an apprenticeship and nearly all of
them were given promotions, pay rises and benefit
packages.
Debt-free route to a degree.
Higher apprenticeships range from Level 4 -
equivalent to a Higher National Certificate (HNC)
- to Level 6 - equivalent to a bachelor's degree.
And similarly to intermediate and advanced
apprenticeships, they combine on-the-job
training with studying for a degree-level
qualification.
