Getting into employment or training

Apprenticeships are real jobs with training so you can earn while you learn and pick up valuable and recognised qualifications.

If you’re 16 years old or older and not in full time education, an apprenticeship can offer you:

• a salary from day one
• paid holidays
• training and qualifications
• job-specific skills
• work alongside experienced staff.

Lambeth Working’s apprenticeship coordinator can help you access local apprenticeship opportunities, so please call us on 020 7926 5966 or email us at apprenticeships@lambeth.gov.uk.

You can also find apprenticeships on GOV.UK.
