Sheffield, without doubt, is The Outdoor City. Often referred to as one of Europe’s greenest cities, you might know Sheffield as the gateway to the Peak District. It’s stunning, inspiring, and makes for unrivalled and unique work environments.

Upon completion of one of our land-based study programmes you could be maintaining and designing country gardens at grand halls like Chatsworth. You could be working as a grounds person, landscape gardener, garden centre operative or even at an historic garden in one of Sheffield’s many green spaces like the Botanical Gardens. Alternatively you could pursue a career as a pitch manager, creating carpet-like pitches at Bramall Lane, Hillsborough or maybe even Wembley. Such green spaces bring plants and wildlife. Unfortunately their habitats

aren’t always in the best condition and need a little love and attention, 133 so we help to train you to preserve our wonderful environment as an

environmental operative for the ranger or wildlife service. Land-based Studies

Apprenticeships www.sheffcol.ac.uk

Thinking an Apprenticeship might be for you? We’ve put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions about Apprenticeships to help you with the basics.

Do I get paid for doing an Apprenticeship? Yes. An Apprenticeship is a job which includes on-the-job training, so you get a qualification at the same time as earning a wage. The minimum weekly wage for an Apprentice is around £111 a week, with many employers paying much more. Do employers value an Apprenticeship on my CV as much as other qualifications? A recent study found that UK employers cited work experience as their top priority when hiring new candidates. An Apprenticeship shows that you’re not only qualified, but that you already have experience of doing the job you’re applying for – something that is invaluable.

What does an Apprenticeship involve? 165

Every Apprenticeship is different, but typically you’ll be employed Apprenticeships on a full-time basis spending roughly four days a week with your employer training and working, and one day a week in college.

Applying for an Apprenticeship is like applying for a job in the sense that you will need a vacancy to apply for. All of our live vacancies can be found at www.sheffcol.ac.uk/apprenticeship/vacancies

If you can’t find a vacancy please contact [email protected] What subjects can I do an Apprenticeship in? The list is endless. Here at The Sheffield College we currently offer Apprenticeships in over 30 different subjects. This ranges from IT to catering, engineering and bakery. You can find our full offer at www.sheffcol.ac.uk/apprenticeships School Leavers’ Prospectus 2019/20 | Apprenticeships

How do I find an Apprenticeship? We have an internal Apprenticeship recruitment team who’ll help you to find the role you want and help you to apply. Get in touch with them today at [email protected]. You’ll find all of our Apprenticeships listed within the study programme sections of this guide or you can go to www.sheffcol.ac.uk/apprenticeships for more information.

“Following the support The Sheffield College gave me to find my Apprenticeship at Addaction, I have gained many administration skills which are helping me progress into future administration roles alongside gaining vital experience. The experience of working full-time has been especially useful for me and is a crucial part of gaining a qualification and further employment, especially within the criminal justice system.

The support I received from my tutors encouraged me through my course and they were on hand to answer any questions if I needed.

After finishing my Apprenticeship, I applied for a job with Addaction which I was successful in getting.
