What is an apprenticeship and who's it for?
Your apprenticeship programme combines hands-on work experience with classroom-based learning. It's a great way to build valuable skills and set a solid foundation for career growth.
It's a great way to 'earn while you learn' which makes apprenticeships an excellent choice if you're a school leaver, just starting your career or if you're looking to change your career in a supportive and guided environment.
How do apprenticeships work?
As an apprentice, you'll split your time between working, doing day-to-day tasks while studying at our Academy or a training provider. This means you can apply your learning in real-world settings under the mentorship of experienced professionals. You'll gain both a qualification and direct, relevant work experience.

What do you get out of an apprenticeship
Real-world experience
You'll learn essential skills in a live work environment. You'll gain confidence and develop a clear understanding of industry demands and expectations.

Unlike other forms of education, apprenticeships offer a salary from day one. So, you'll be paid for your work, making it financially possible to learn new skills and advance professionally.
Gain an industry-recognised qualification
Once you've completed your programme you'll get a nationally recognised qualification. This will really enhance your future career prospects and make you highly attractive to employers in various fields.
Career progression
Thanks to your hands-on experience, alongside the learning which apprenticeships provide, you'll be well-positioned for career progression in your chosen field. Peabody sees apprenticeships as a long-term investment, and we offer opportunities for you to continue to progress within the Group once you've finished.
Applying
To be eligible for an apprenticeship, you must:
- Be 18 or over at the start of the apprenticeship

- Not already hold qualifications at the same, or at a higher level, in a similar subject
- Have lived in the UK/EA for 3 years prior to the start of your apprenticeship
