 An Apprenticeship is a structured programme of training which gives the
learner the opportunity to work for an employer, learn on the job
and build up knowledge and transferable skills that will be needed
throughout a working life. Across the UK
there are over 100 apprenticeships to choose from, covering just about every
sector of industry and commerce. Apprenticeships will take between 12 months
and 48 months to complete depending on the industry requirements. They are a nationally recognized qualification, providing learners
with a "passport" to rewarding careers, and employers with talented
and competent employees. Employers obtain financial assistance from Government
towards developing their workforce's skills.
With the support of employers, Cogent has developed Apprenticeship frameworks;
they provide a model for apprenticeship training and therefore a tool to assist
employers in the development of their own apprenticeships. The frameworks take
account of the requirements of nationally laid-down criteria for funding in England, Wales,
Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Excellent opportunities are available for motivated young men and women to
pursue careers in the Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Nuclear, Oil and Gas,
Petroleum and Polymer industries through Apprenticeships. OPITO manages a
