What is an apprenticeship? 
 
Apprenticeships benefit employers and individuals by boosting skills and improving productivity. An apprenticeship is a job with training. It is a way for existing or new employees to learn and gain valuable skills, knowledge and behaviours while they work. Apprenticeships are available across 170 industries. Businesses of all sizes and sectors can offer an apprenticeship through Fareport and they normally last anything from 12 months to 2 years.
