Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship gives you on-the-job experience, a salary and the opportunity to train as you work. Through an apprenticeship you will be able to:

• Earn a salary while spending at least 20% of your time off the job training with one of our partner training providers.
• Gain industry recognised qualifications and certification.
• Start your long term career pathway in your chosen industry.

There is no age limit to an apprenticeship. If you’re over 16, living in England and not in full time education then an apprenticeship could be perfect for you.

You can undertake an apprenticeship at a lower level if you have a degree so long as it is not in the same subject area as your apprenticeship. You cannot undertake more than one apprenticeship at a time and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Most importantly you should demonstrate enthusiasm for working at the University of Birmingham and pursuing the occupational area of your choice.

That all depends on the apprenticeship. At the University of Birmingham our apprenticeships cover a huge range of subject areas including:

• Lab Technicians
• Business Administration
• Finance
• Engineering
• IT
• Hospitality and Catering
• Business Administration
• Marketing
• Childcare
• and many more.

During the apprenticeship you will learn the required knowledge and skills specifically designed by leading employers that will give you the building blocks to support your career development.
