Employment with Training
What is it?
Some employers offer employment opportunities for young people that involve developing skills and experience through part-time learning and training that the employer organises themselves. This is different to Apprenticeships, which are nationally recognised training programmes with clear entry requirements that meet national standards.
As an employee, you are eligible for the National Minimum Wage and local Connexions Centres have a database of local employment opportunities.
