Apprenticeships for Disabled People

Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study. As an apprentice you will gain work experience, learn new skills and gain a nationally recognised qualification while earning a wage.

On an apprenticeship you can get tailored support while you learn and work. If you are looking for work or a career change an apprenticeship could be right for you.
