Industry training v Modern Apprenticeships
A Modern Apprenticeship
- is aimed at people between 16 and 21 years old
- includes the support of a Modern Apprenticeship co-ordinator who checks your progress on a regular basis
- Modern Apprenticeships are only available in 32 industries – ask your industry training organisation (ITO) or Modern Apprenticeship co-ordinator to tell you about the opportunities.
Industry training
- is generally open to people of all ages
- has no assigned person who checks your process on a regular basis – it depends on your own initiative
- can be done in all industries covered by an industry training organisation (ITO).
If you don’t qualify for a Modern Apprenticeship, you may still be able to do industry training.
