Employees
Modern Apprenticeships offer those aged over 16 paid employment combined with the opportunity to train for jobs at craft, technician and management level. They are an exciting way of gaining skills and qualifications that will help to start a career without having to study full-time, and are available now across a wide range of industries.
All the Modern Apprenticeship frameworks are developed by the industry or sector in which they will be implemented and therefore encompass all the skills you require to become a craftsman, technician or manager in that area.
Who are they for?
Modern Apprenticeships are aimed at those from 16+ years and capable of achieving a Vocational Qualification at Level 3 or above.
Modern Apprenticeship frameworks can also be used as the basis for training of more mature employees.
What do they offer?
As a Modern Apprentice you will be employed from the very start of your training and receive a wage from your employer. You will then be given the chance to develop expertise and knowledge through on-the-job assessment as well as gaining vital skills such as team work and problem solving. To make sure the combination of theory and practice is right for you a Training Agreement will be drawn up that is unique to you. Through your Training Agreement, you, your employer and GO@L Training are all committed to your development. With the right combination of theory and practice your career will be on track and you will gain a nationally recognised, high level qualification - a SVQ at Level 3.
Who pays for all this?
The money to pay for your training may come from your local enterprise company, supported by your employer. Neither you nor your family will have to pay training fees. All GO@L Modern Apprentices are employed and paid a wage.
What's in it for me?
What better incentive when you are training than to know that you are being paid a wage, and that you are in the job because you've chosen it? Add to that the security of knowing your progress is being monitored and supported by your employer and GO@L Training and that you are working towards a nationally recognised qualification. Good news all round!
