Healthcare Apprenticeships
Healthcare apprenticeships are a popular option for many people and there are several different apprenticeship standards in this area which offer multiple options for those who are interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare sector.
Healthcare is one of the most in-demand industries and with an ageing population, this is only likely to become more so over the coming years. There has been a skills shortage in this area because of a combination of the great resignation, the pandemic and Brexit which saw many European healthcare workers leave the UK.
There are skills gaps that now need to be filled in the healthcare sector and taking on a healthcare apprenticeship will allow you to learn the skills necessary to make this a long and fulfilling career.
Benefits of a Healthcare Apprenticeship
A healthcare apprenticeship will give you the opportunity to learn and earn at the same time. You will be spending 80% of your time receiving in-work training and doing the job and for the remaining 20% you will be taking part in off the job learning. Think of it as the “practical” side and the “theory” side. You will be paid for your time on both parts of the apprenticeship and you will also achieve a qualification at the end of it.
The qualification that you achieve depends on the level of the apprenticeship and there are different apprenticeships aimed at varying levels of academic achievement so most people should be able to find something that suits them.
A healthcare apprenticeship will give you valuable professional skills that you can rely on in the future and the experience of working in a healthcare environment, which should give you an excellent chance of getting a good job at the end of it.
