What are apprenticeships?

Apprenticeships are one of the most traditional forms of vocational training available across all industry sectors and are an excellent way of gaining nationally recognised qualifications whilst working and gaining real workplace experience. As an apprentice, you can earn as you learn.

Currently over 300 people, of all ages, are participating within an Apprenticeship programme with Reading College and these are associated with nearly 150 separate employers, primarily across Reading and the Thames Valley.

Reading College is one of the leading providers of Apprenticeships across Reading and regularly produces high success rates, well in advance of national average performance. Learner satisfaction is measured regularly and is rated highly among other Apprenticeship training providers.

Any Apprenticeship vacancies that the college is aware of will be advertised on the National Apprenticeship Service vacancies website National Apprenticeship Service vacancies website.
