About the course

Foundation apprenticeships are employed positions and are for younger people who will benefit from a wide range of experiences. Each foundation occupation provides a mix of employability skills and behaviours, technical knowledge and skills, and associated English and maths. It combines valuable hands-on practice in the workplace with off-the-job learning. The apprentice's experiences will not only help them to grow their skills but will also help to inform their next career steps.

Career options

Full-time employment. Upon completion, you can also progress to a higher level apprenticeship or qualification.

Career progression is excellent for apprentices, and over the course of their careers, those with an Apprenticeship earn on average, £100,000 more than those without. (A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Apprenticeships and Other Vocational Qualifications, University of Sheffield, 2007)

They may work across many sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, advanced and general manufacturing. The apprentice will carry out general engineering and manufacturing tasks consistently using safe working practices, planning and organising resources, and completing tasks within timeframes.
