Science and Engineering Apprenticeships

A Catalyst article about training as a technician after GCSEs. With an apprenticeship scheme it is possible to start a career at 16, keep learning to acquire qualifications – and get paid. It is quite possible to obtain a permanent job at the end of the apprenticeship. Many different companies up and down the country offer apprenticeships as an entry to a wide range of interesting careers in the sciences. These positions are usually provided in conjunction with a ‘learning provider’, usually a local college.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2007, Volume 18, Issue 1.
