In just 25 working days, we are already over halfway to reaching our goal of enrolling 300 people onto an apprenticeship!

We set ourselves the ambitious goal to achieve 300 sign-ups for apprenticeships, in just 50 working days. We're half way through our time, at 25 days, but well over the number of enrolments, at 167 already!

We decided to set this goal, as at Weston College, we love creating opportunities for people to access their brighter future, and we believe an apprenticeship is one of the most effective ways of achieving your dream career. Whether this involves beginning your journey into an industry, upskilling, or embarking on a career change, we want to see you succeed!

Jack, who completed a degree apprenticeship with Weston College and the Ministry of Defence, says: “Apprenticeships have the power to unlock doors, provide opportunities and prepare you for the workplace in ways that universities don’t.

“If there is an opportunity to pursue your aspirations through an apprenticeship, then I cannot stress enough how seriously you should consider going down the apprenticeship route.”

Weston College is an award-winning apprenticeship provider, being named Bristol and Bath Apprenticeship Provider of the Year four times. We offer apprenticeships across the south west, from Bridgwater to Bristol and beyond, in multiple industries.

We would not have been able to reach over this amazing achievement without the help of some incredible businesses which have been taking on, and discovering the benefits, of having an apprentice.

Sir Paul Phillips, Principal and CEO of the college, commented on this achievement: “We are thrilled that 167 apprentices have already been enrolled. Throughout the campaign we have worked closely with our employer network, and it has been fantastic to offer apprenticeships with new companies as well. Apprenticeships are equally as beneficial for the employer as they are for the learner, and we want to be able to showcase this through this campaign. We cannot wait to watch the development of their workplace skills, and we’re honoured to give them the opportunity to create their brighter futures with us.”
