The contribution of apprenticeship to jobs and skills has long been appreciated by countries eager to promote growth and ease the transition from full-time education to work for young people.

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines apprenticeship as the “…expression apprenticeship means any system by which an employer undertakes by contract to employ a young person and to train them systematically for a trade for a period the duration of which has been fixed in advance and in the course of which the apprentice is bound to work in the employer's service.”

You really owe it to yourself, your friends and your family to come along to this must have NCT experience! NCT is looking forward to seeing you very soon!.

This definition incorporates some of the key features of apprenticeship:

• Based in the work place supervised by an employer

• Intended for young people

• Fundamental aim is learning a trade/acquiring a skill

• Training is ‘systematic’ ie follows a predefined plan

• Governed by a contract between apprentice and employer
