A way for young people to earn while they learn

Generally, 80% of time spent working and 20% of time in college/being assessed

Contract of employment including holiday pay

Available at a number of levels across a wide range of occupations and sectors

A viable alternative pathway for students who wish to enter the world of work rather than continue in full time education
