Apprenticeships Newstart
The Newstart section, based within our Employer Engagement Unit, is responsible
for Apprenticeships. This involves recruiting potential apprentices and
employers.
Apprenticeships are offered at Advanced or Foundation level. These are
usually NVQ courses and combine 'on-the-job' training with time spent
in College. Burton college also offers a range of Foundation Degrees which
are the natural next step from an Apprenticeship.
An Apprenticeship gives you:
A firm commitment from an employer to employ and support you as the Apprenticeship;
a nationally recognised NVQ; the knowledge and experience to take the
first steps on successful career; and high-quality skills that are recognised
across industry.
