“Essentially, it’s a job with training and a qualification. So, you’ll earn money, develop your skills, add to your CV and experience, plus take a step up the career ladder.”

Bournemouth & Poole College is the largest apprenticeship provider in the area, working with more than 2,000 businesses across Dorset and the surrounding area.

They run over 30 different apprenticeships, with 98 per cent of apprentices gaining employment, including with their apprenticeship employer on a permanent basis.
