UCM is exploring the benefits of apprenticeships this week in alignment with National Apprenticeship Week which runs until February 16.
Whether you’re a student looking at your post school studies, or if you’re already in a job but looking to retrain into a new industry, apprenticeships are a great option to consider.
As well as earning while you learn, apprenticeships enable you to apply what you’re learning in the classroom in your job.
Apprenticeship
By combining classroom knowledge with practical experience in the workplace, UCM apprentices develop the skills, confidence and connections needed to excel in your chosen industry.
In an apprenticeship you’ll gain hands-on experience while studying which you can use straight away in your workplace, giving you the ultimate blend of education and employment.
Traditionally, apprenticeships have been associated with industries such as construction and engineering.
While they are still used as a successful model of on-the-job training in those sectors, apprenticeships are now being used widely across most, if not all, industries.
UCM Apprentices
UCM prides itself on working closely with local industry to deliver a range of high-quality apprenticeship programs that prepare students for real-world success.

“The support from UCM has helped me to build strong foundations, and equipped me with the tools required to thrive.”
UCM’s apprenticeship offering encompasses a variety of sectors, from Business, Administration and IT, to Dental Nursing, Engineering, Hairdressing and Construction.
