Apprenticeships are a great way to earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills.
You will receive a regular wage with paid holidays and the same benefits as other employees. As your skills develop, your pay will increase accordingly. You may also get additional money for essential books, clothing or equipment, or help with a disability.
The Apprenticeship, Traineeship and Jobs Growth Wales Programmes, led by the Welsh Government, are supported by the European Social Fund.
The Skills for Industry project is part funded by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government
