3 WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP? Apprenticeships combine paid employment with recognised accredited learning tailored to specific job roles. An apprentice will have a job and also be studying towards the relevant qualifications for that Apprenticeship, which also includes functional skills in maths, English and in some cases IT. An apprenticeship is a way for young people and adult learners to earn while they learn in a real job, gaining a real qualification and a real future. Most of the training is on-the-job at an employer s premises, working with a mentor to learn job specific skills in the workplace. WHAT ABOUT NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS (NVQS)? An NVQ is a competency based assessment which means it is very practical and assesses your competency within a particular vocation or job role. NVQs at Eastleigh College can be studied at the College, or within a place of work if a part-time course is chosen. Vocational courses have been developed in partnership with employers, in order to ensure that students learn the skills that are relevant for their industry. This type of study allows students to learn the technical and professional skills which will prove to employers that they are work-ready. In these competitive times, having practical experience behind you can give you the edge in your job search. WHAT ARE WORK-BASED LEARNING QUALIFICATIONS? Work based learning offers flexible qualifications that you can undertake within your workplace. This includes a range of Apprenticeships and Nationally recognised Vocational Qualification s (NVQs) in a range of subject areas. Fully workplace based courses are an excellent way to recognise the talents in your workforce without having them spend time off-site in order to do so. This type of course is especially suited to existing employees within an organisation who have gained experience in the relevant industry and would like their skills accredited. It is also a great way to encourage staff who are already qualified to develop and achieve a higher level of attainment. A range of government led subsidies are available through the College to assist with course costs. To find out more please visit our website.
