- Modern Apprenticeships.
A Modern Apprenticeship is all about learning and earning at the same time, it offers practical experience as part of a structured training programme. In the past, apprenticeships were mostly in the trades, but today there are over 80 types of apprenticeship – covering everything from financial services to science.
