Nathan, who is an apprentice at Farrans, said, “I haven’t looked back since starting my apprenticeship. Blending work with education brings learning to life.
"I’m earning a salary and will have no student debt when I graduate. Workplus makes it much easier to find a great apprenticeship and I am so pleased I chose this pathway.”
People can apply until February 24, with apprenticeships starting from May to September. Opportunities are available in Fintech, Software Development, Engineering, Banking, Customer Operations and more areas, including Higher Level Apprenticeships.

Richard said, “The reason we are passionate about apprenticeships is because we have seen their many benefits.
"From the apprentice side, the blend of working, continuing with formal education and mentoring has proven to be an enriching and fruitful combination. From the employer side, companies can grow their own early talent, which feeds into wider benefits including staff retention and encouraging a culture of lifelong learning.”
