Mythbusting Apprenticeships

There are lots of common myths about apprenticeships, we hope to bust them and provide you with reassurance as to why an apprenticeship could be the right option for you and your future

Apprenticeships are simply an alternative route into skilled employment. They are a great way to earn while you learn, gain vital work experience or support a change in career direction. Apprenticeships can be accessed with a mix of qualifications and experience to anyone over the age of 16 and provide the opportunity to gain new qualifications. 


The minimum age for starting an apprenticeship is 16, however, apprenticeships are available to people of all ages and at any stage of their career. This makes them a great option for anyone looking to start their employment journey, change career, improve their skills in order to secure a new role or re-enter the labour market having taken some time out for whatever reason.


Apprenticeships come in a range of different levels, starting from Level 2 and going on through to higher and degree level apprenticeships.

More and more people are now choosing an apprenticeship as an alternative to university while nearly a fifth (19%) of advanced apprentices progress to higher education over time following their apprenticeship.


Apprenticeships boost productivity to businesses by an average £214 per week. They help businesses grow their own talent by developing a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce which in turn leads to increased profits, lower prices and better products. Sounds good doesn’t it?
