Apprenticeships at City College Norwich

Apprenticeships provide fantastic career opportunities and allow you to get a qualification and earn money at the same time.

If you are over 16, an apprenticeship is an ideal option if you want to continue learning while working or get a head start on your career. You can be any age over 16 and still get funding too!

Apprenticeships are available in hundreds of industries

We work with around 700 employers to provide apprenticeships in hundreds of industries, from the largest employers in the country through to small, ambitious businesses that are keen to grow.

We work closely with these employers to deliver training both on and off the job. In most cases, you’ll come into college one day a week, as well as getting planned training and development with a mentor in the workplace.
