APPRENTICES

Contrary to popular belief apprenticeships still exist. However, they are no longer time based, and success is measured by the apprentice showing competency in each aspect of his or her training.

Apprenticeships result in trade or technician qualifications and fall into two categories – Adult or mature apprentices both within the workforce and for new entrants; and Modern Apprentices for school leavers and other new entrants to the workforce between the ages of 16-22.

These qualifications are achieved by a mix of on and off job training which includes a number of block courses, and normally takes between three and four years to complete.

People who gain these qualifications earn high wages as a Plastics Process Technician or a Plastics Engineer and are likely to go on to manage or own their own businesses.
