Apprenticeships
At the University of Brighton Academies Trust we support trainee teachers on placements at our academies as well offer our members of staff opportunities to gain a professional qualification while working with us through an apprenticeship.
Earn, learn and make a difference with a Trust apprenticeship.
Here at The University of Brighton Academies Trust we like to encourage everyone to consider how an apprenticeship scheme can help develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career and be ready to meet the needs of our young people. Apprenticeships are an exciting option. More and more people today are waking up to the benefits of apprenticeships by either employing a new member of staff as an apprentice or encouraging an existing employee to further their career.
An apprenticeship enables study for a work based, nationally recognised qualification that brings these benefits:
· Continuation of earning whilst learning and developing relevant work experience
· No training fees. The Trust and Government cover the cost of training
· Potential to improve future earning power
· Increased career enjoyment and learning opportunities
The Trust offers a competitive salary for apprentices who are new recruits and existing employees continue to be paid on their current salary scale for their role. There are apprenticeships available for people of all levels of skill and experience at the Trust. So, whether you are taking the first steps in your career with us, taking a change in direction or wanting to undertake development training to build on your existing skills there is an apprenticeship for you!
