What is an Apprenticeship or Traineeship?
An apprenticeship is a technical training system that includes practical and theoretical training. They are offered in particular trades such as
millwright/fitter and after passing a Trade Test the learner/employee is recognised as an artisan.
Apprenticeships are different from learnerships in that they are job orientated and not career-orientated, and relate to a specific trade. This
means that if you participate in an apprenticeship you will learn a trade to fill a particular job post. Any person over the age of 16 may apply,
but good marks in maths and science increase the chances of learners being selected to participate.
