Following on from their recent attendance at Skills Fest on 5th March at Gloucester Rugby club, the college is promoting an apprenticeship offer to local businesses where, for every apprentice aged 16-24 that is taken on, the college will waiver the fee for you to recruit another apprentice over the age of 25. Suitable apprenticeship frameworks selected by local businesses might be in team leading or management.

As well as a large number of vacancies in traditional apprenticeship areas, including catering, business administration, sales and health and social care, the College is currently advertising to fill a number of specialist vacancies, including a Customer Service Support Worker with St George’s Association, Apprentice Receptionist with Berkeley Surgery, Accounts Assistant with Keen Thinking Ltd and Proactive IT Engineer Apprentice with Module IT Limited.

Gloucestershire College advertises all of our apprenticeship vacancies on the website, and we encourage young people to sign up and take a look at what is available.

“I would also encourage potential employers to take a look at the breadth of apprenticeship frameworks that are available and to consider employing an apprentice in every aspect of their businesses. At the moment, for every 16-24 year old apprentice a company takes on, we will offer an apprenticeship to somebody aged 24+ to be put on an apprenticeship at no extra charge.
