Young People (16-24)

Getting paid while you learn might sound too good to be true — but as an apprentice you really do get the best of both worlds. If you have the dedication to succeed in the world of work, and you're not afraid to commit yourself to two years of training and study, then an Apprenticeship could be for you.

How it works

• Get ahead while getting paid

Apprenticeships are high quality, work-based learning programmes for young people who want to develop their prospects and career. You work for your employer 4 days a week, on the 5th day you are with System Information Technology Ltd for training to assist and progress you in your job.

When you decide to take up an Apprenticeship with System IT, you will work towards the following qualifications:

• BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners (Systems Support)
• National Vocational Qualification at Level 3
• Key Skills (Numeracy and Literacy)

Additionally the training programme that we use also gives vocational qualifications such as the CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and Cisco CCNA.

Employers

How it works

Apprenticeships focus on the whole job, not just individual skills.

Apprentices learn through a combination of on- and off-the-job education and training. On the job they work alongside your staff and the rest they learn from a local learning provider (on a day release basis).

Apprenticeships help you stay competitive by developing the kind of people your business needs for the future.

How much do we pay the apprentice?

This depends entirely up to yourselves as the employer, there are lower rates for apprentices, however we recommend that quality employers would want to pay at least the national minimum wage.
