VCS Apprenticeship Scheme

WHAT IS AVAILABLE UNDER THE VCS APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME?

Are you looking for a well trained, flexible and diverse workforce?

This is a unique Apprenticeship programme open to volunteers and existing voluntary and community sector employees aged over 19, who have low or no prior qualifications, or hold higher level qualifications not relevant to working in the voluntary and community sector.

The programme lasts between 8 and 18 months depending on the starting point and needs of your apprentice. They may need to attend a college or training provider on a day release arrangement.

But their knowledge and work experience is assessed through a portfolio of evidence and observations in the work place. The Technical Certificate is assessed by exam multiple choice questions and Key Skills assessed by a test and/or portfolio.

The Apprenticeship programme is fully funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) along with support for travel, childcare and family care costs.
