- T Levels
- Degree-level learning
- Commercial and short courses
- Bespoke training
- Distance learning
- Work placements

Hiring an apprentice
An apprenticeship could be the perfect way for you to develop the workers you need with the support of our expert staff and the Government.
It could be easier than you think to hire an apprentice, and the benefits include the expansion and upskilling of your workforce and the chance to ensure their training is specifically tailored to your business.

What apprenticeships are available
We offer apprenticeships across a huge range of industries, from engineering to catering and education to nuclear.
There is something for everyone and we have a track record of delivering for hundreds of employers.
Tailoring our offering to the county’s skills gap is crucial, and apprenticeships can be developed where the current range does not meet a need.

Lakes College and the National College for Nuclear offer fantastic courses. They’ve got a great support network and I definitely would not have the career that I have today without them.
