Rathbone offers a broad range of apprenticeship programmes for young people. Apprenticeships are designed to help young people gain the skills employers want, and are open to anyone aged 16 to 24. The programmes help them gain essential skills and qualifications by working and studying.

In most cases, apprentices are employed from the very start of their apprenticeship, but Rathbone now offers a more flexible route into an apprenticeship programme for learners who need longer to find employment.

Apprenticeships include training for vocational qualifications, key skills awards and technical certificates. Young people can access them at two levels, Foundation Apprenticeships (Level 2) and Advanced Apprenticeships (Level 3).

Key Skills are highly rated by employers and usually include communication, application of numbers and information skills. Depending on the industry, they can also include qualifications in First Aid or Health and Safety.

We currently offer apprenticeship programmes in a wide range of jobs including Childcare, Administration, Hospitality, Motor Vehicle and others.
