All About Apprenticeships

For many of you, National Apprenticeship Week would have completely flown under your radar. And even I, an apprentice, would be lying if I said I was aware of it taking place. It is something that gets very little coverage and attention. Most people are under the common misconception that apprenticeships are strictly for vocational or manual-oriented work rather than leaning towards the academic side of the spectrum. The reality being this is not the case.

Apprenticeships are believed to have begun in the Middle Ages, flourishing in the 14th century during the industrial revolution. Since then they have grown and developed exponentially, offering a huge array of learning opportunities across a plethora of subjects and areas of work.
