An apprenticeship is a training programme designed in collaboration with employers and training providers to give eager applicants the skills and qualifications needed by businesses. They are programmes with a combination of on-the-job and off-the-job learning.
The College have developed this charter to encourage organisations to sign up and commit to high quality apprenticeship opportunities. The College is committed to developing apprentices in order to make them: employable, multi-skilled, confident and capable independent learners, literate and numerate, well-rounded responsible citizens.
We are committed to the vision of high quality apprenticeships as a skills development programme for the current and future workforce as we build a new, fair and prosperous economy. There are a number of principles which must be met in order to ensure that this vision is realised in a way that is beneficial to the apprentices, the employing businesses and the society as a whole.
