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.

If you like being outside and working practically then this industry might be the perfect fit, you will work outside all year round to keep outdoor spaces looking their best and develop new techniques to grow yourself and the industry

Apprentices will be assessed in the workplace by our industry served assessing teams and have access to college support.

Learners completing these qualifications need to be physically able to meet the demands of working outside, be able to adapt and work as part of a team.

Studied – Level 2 Horticulture

Currently – Working at Maesdu Golf Club

I started this qualification to progress and gain more knowledge in my work. I gained more knowledge of certain diseases and pests and how to control them in a safe manner while learning a variety of things about workplace health and safety.

“It’s definitely benefited me more in my career by having a bit more knowledge when it comes to certain jobs/tasks. You pick up loads of other things which you would never have found out without doing the work through college.”

“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham! 

“I look back on my time at Yale with pride and fondness and will never forget it!”
