What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a paid job that combines work and study, allowing you to gain industry-relevant skills while earning a salary. Unlike traditional education routes, apprenticeships provide a practical, debt-free pathway to gaining nationally recognised qualifications in high-demand industries.
 
At London South Bank University (LSBU) Group, we partner with employers to deliver work-based learning programs that help apprentices grow professionally while contributing to their organizations​.
