Apprenticeships

My role at the school is so varied – I can go from supporting a phonics lesson in Year 1 to a maths lesson in Year 5, and then a PE lesson in the afternoon.

I feel like I can get the best hands-on experience through my apprenticeship and am getting the skills employers need, giving me the competitive edge.”

Transitioning from an apprentice to a full time position can be challenging, but at the same time the most comfortable, secure and rewarding experience when working with Northern Skills at Middlesbrough College.

Northern Skills personalised my learning and made me feel like more than just a number.

I’ve had the opportunity to learn lots, and my level of responsibility has grown over time.

I’ve found it quite easy to balance my work alongside my studies for the apprenticeship, and it’s been made all the easier by the support I’ve received from my tutors.

I’m really glad I went for this apprenticeship after leaving College, because it gives me the opportunity to work, learn, grow and ask questions.
