Benefits for Individuals
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to earn as you learn! 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. If you are aged 16 or above and are driven to succeed in a particular industry and are willing to commit yourself to training and study, then an Apprenticeship could be right up your street - quite literally!

Selby College is the largest provider of Apprenticeship training in the area and successfully works in partnership with a wide range of employers across Yorkshire and Humberside.

Benefits for Employers
Work based learning through Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships is an excellent way for your business to develop. Working to national standards that have been designed by employers, Apprenticeships will help you develop your employee's skills and experience, making them more productive and as a result helping you to be more competitive.
