Career Starter Apprenticeships

The Department for Education (DfE), in partnership with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE), have launched a new initiative, Career Starter Apprenticeships. This initiative aims to raise young people’s awareness of apprenticeship opportunities.

Many apprenticeships are a great opportunity for those looking for their first role after leaving full-time education. Learn more about some of the career starter apprenticeships by clicking on the links below. These packs include case studies, details about day-to-day activities, salaries and durations.
