This week is National Apprenticeship Week and that is particularly important to us at Hadlow College as we are part of North Kent College, one of the country’s leading apprenticeships providers!
We offer a number of apprenticeships at our leafy campus here in Hadlow, and they provide several benefits. Notably you earn while you learn, get paid holidays, cut back on student debt and gain a qualification all whilst getting significant on the job experience.
Not only that, but according to the latest stats from the Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills, 90% of apprentices are offered permanent employment either during their apprenticeship or upon graduation.
It is important to remember that anyone over the age of 16 is eligible to start an apprenticeship, there is no upper age limit.
Hope West, Head of Apprenticeships at Hadlow College, says: "Apprenticeships are a fantastic opportunity for employers to meet the broader aims of their businesses and to grow their own talent through apprenticeship programmes, which is helping them to build and support skills gaps within their sectors. Apprenticeships open doors to people of all ages, and helps support pathways for individuals wanting to build rewarding careers."
