About Apprenticeships
Why Choose An Apprenticeship?
Kickstart your career with an apprenticeship and earn as you learn.
Across North Wales and beyond, companies are recruiting for apprenticeships and training people in the skills they need to succeed in their career.
As an apprentice you will earn whilst you learn, gaining skills, knowledge, experience and recognised qualifications along the way. Whether you’re aged between 16 and 19 or 20 and over, a range of apprenticeship options may be available to you.
Digital Technologies is currently one of only a few subjects in Wales that you can do a degree apprenticeship in, this sector is growing rapidly and is always on the lookout for new talent!
Learners in this industry need a good eye for detail, the ability to adapt and work as part of a team.
These courses are assessed in the workplace by our industry served teams and can require day release to our Deeside or Yale college sites where learners will have access to state of the art facilities and technology to help their learning.
