Apprentices

Health & Social Care

Introduction

What will it cost me?
Your training costs will be provided by your Learning and Skills Council.

What do I need to do next?

  • Complete and return a Learning Skills Council Application Form for Work Based Learning.
  • Contact your local college and ask if they have a Care Training Coordinator (or someone who deals with the Care Apprenticeship Programmes). They may be able to arrange a visit to an employer and you can discuss the Apprenticeship in more detail.
  • If you're unemployed, visit your local Connexions Centre and Jobcentre Plus to see if there are any vacancies in Care. Also have a look in the local papers.
  • If you're already employed, you need to discuss the possibility of undertaking an Apprenticeship with your employer.
