APPRENTICES

What is an Apprenticeship?

What’s an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a genuine job and under all circumstances an apprentice will be employed from day one. Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study. Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study so you earn while you learn! 

​An apprentice will:
– work alongside experienced staff
– gain job-specific skills
– earn a wage and get holiday pay
– be given time for study related to their role (the equivalent of one day a week)
What levels are there?
At NEMA, we currently offer apprenticeships from Level 2-Level 5.
What can you earn?
The national minimum wage (NMW) for apprentices is £4.30  per hour from April 2021. The apprentice NMW applies to apprentices aged under 19 or aged 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship. Apprentices aged 19 and over, and not in the first year of their apprenticeship, will be entitled to the National Minimum Wage for their age.

Some employers may choose to pay more. More details on salaries and entry criteria in specific apprenticeship occupations can be found on GOV.UK and search ‘apprenticeships’.

Why Apply?
Why choose NEMA?
Here at NEMA, we base our delivery solely around the individual needs of each learner. We start by offering a Learning Styles Questionnaire to determine your preferred way of learning and adapt our teaching styles to suit you. We also offer constant support throughout the apprenticeship from our Employability and Support Learning Mentor, Sophie.
Entry requirements
Apprenticeships are available to anyone over the age of 15 (who have left school), living in England and have no upper age limit. The National Apprenticeship Service is committed to ensuring that high quality apprenticeships are accessible to all people from all backgrounds.

There will be different entry requirements depending on the industry, job role and apprenticeship level. You may be required to complete your functional skills (Maths and/or English) during your apprenticeship if you are not working at Level 2 (GCSE).

A Disability Confident Employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria as defined by the employer. For more details, search Disability Confident on GOV.UK.
