About apprenticeships
As part of Sheffield City Council we have a proud tradition of employing and training apprentices. We also offer this service to local employers in and around the Sheffield area who either want to recruit new apprentices or train existing staff.
The benefits for employers
Apprenticeships are a cost-effective, government-supported training programme for employers, designed around their specific needs to help enable an increasingly skilled and qualified workforce.
Apprenticeships can be used to employ new staff as well as to develop existing employees in vocational areas from Level 2 (GCSE standard) to Level 7 (Masters standard). They help address skill shortages and productivity, along with enhancing organisational reputation.
The benefits for employees
As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills and nationally recognised qualifications.

Completing an apprenticeship
An apprentice is typically a full-time employee who takes part in 'on the job' training and 6 hours per week 'off the job' training.
At Level 2 and Level 3, each apprenticeship will ordinarily take between 12 and 36 months to complete, depending on the vocational area being studied.
