"Choosing an Apprenticeship was right for me because it helped me get a lot more out of my study. I'm not only learning about painting and decorating, but also what it's like to be in a working environment. It has set me up for the future as I now have the skills I need to carry on at a higher level. I would recommend an Apprenticeship to others as it is a great way to start your working life, and has really improved my confidence." Jenny Sibley, Painting and Decorating
The South West is the highest performing region for apprentices, and the College - with nearly 1,000 apprentices - is one of the highest performing providers in the South West. Apprenticeships 2012/13
Ć?Ć?Ć?What is an Apprenticeship? An Apprenticeship is a practical, recognised training programme that you undertake whilst being employed with a relevant business. Studying this way means you can earn a wage and get on-the-job training from your workplace - so Apprenticeships are a great way to gain a qualiďŹ cation and work experience at the same time.

"An Apprenticeship was right for me as I find I learn things a lot faster whilst working. I would definitely recommend an Apprenticeship to anyone that finds it difficult to work in a classroom, as you get a lot more freedom whilst learning, and if taken seriously - and with a lot of hard work - you can gain all sorts of qualifications at the end. An Apprenticeship can set you up with a job that you enjoy, for life!" Dale Thompson, Plumbing and Heating Apprenticeships 2012/13

"When I was made redundant, it made me think about which direction my career was heading in. After weighing up my options I settled on an Apprenticeship, because it gave me the opportunity to gain a new qualification and the work experience that I would need at the same time. I've already moved on into full-time employment, and now feel I have a long term career." Ashley Archer, Business and Administration

“Doing an Apprenticeship through Babcock and City College Plymouth has allowed me to learn a recognised trade in a fantastic learning environment. Everything that I have done in College has helped me to achieve more and be more confident in my job. I am now working towards my HNC.� Jamie Miller, Marine Engineering
Don’t let not having a job stop you from applying - it will get the ball rolling while you are looking. Apprenticeships 2012/13
ƏƏƏHow to Become an Apprentice An essential step in becoming an apprentice is finding a job - one that you enjoy and that you feel would make a good career choice. If you’re already in employment great, you’ve got a head start, but if you don’t have a job yet, don’t worry. There are several ways to go about finding an employer to take you on as an apprentice.
