About apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a job with training and assessment. As an apprentice, you earn a salary and are part of a team. You learn in your job and in your studies. You get dedicated time during your working hours to complete your apprenticeship. This includes off-the-job training, which is a key part of your development. You gain highly transferable skills and knowledge within a specific occupation. And you finish with an industry-recognised qualification (where applicable), as well as the know-how and confidence to keep progressing in your field.
An apprenticeship offers a flexible way into a career. Or a flexible way to progress within one. As an apprentice with us, you’ll benefit from:
- your tuition costs being covered by the government and your employer
- learning from Cambridge academics and leading experts, while earning
- taking your learning with us into the workplace and consolidating it
- our dynamic learning community for sharing knowledge and networking
Apprenticeships enable you to build competitive skills that encourage growth in your organisation and industry. As an employer partnering with us, you’ll benefit from:
- developing your workforce and staff retention
- a Cambridge apprenticeship linked to a skills gap
- apprentices bringing skills and knowledge they learn with us into your workplace
- improving diversity, inclusion and social mobility
- using apprenticeship levy funds
- claiming 95% of levy from the government pot and topping up with 5% from your own training budget, if you’re a non-levy funded employer
- being potentially eligible for additional funding when employing a young apprentice who meets certain conditions
