You’ll need:

  • To be committed to becoming an apprentice.
  • A current up-to-date CV that you review regularly and inform us of any updates.
  • Evidence of employability skills.

  • Provide up-to-date contact details and be responsive to any contact we make with you – we may be letting you know about your ideal job opportunity.

In exchange for your commitment, we’ll support you to find an apprenticeship and our Employer Engagement Team will do their best to find employers in the industries that you want to work in.

Firstly, you’ll need to have a chat with the team and send them your CV. They can be contacted on 01942 761851 employerengagement@wigan-leigh.ac.uk

An apprenticeship means you will work with an employer, earn a wage and learn on the job whilst gaining qualifications. Apprenticeships are becoming more demanding with employers wanting to recruit talented and skilled individuals within their workplace.
