About Apprenticeships at Doncaster College

 

About the course

The College offers apprenticeships in a wide range of subject areas. They are a great way of getting a job and earning some cash while you learn. You can enjoy all the benefits of coming to college - great social life, top notch facilities, quality teaching and independence - plus you’ll be gaining real life experiences and some money in your pocket to help you along the way (a minimum £2.50 per hour).

 

Apprenticeships really do deliver for you. You get to build up knowledge, skills, and work towards a qualification, which employers want to see on your CV, enhancing your job prospects.
