Apprenticeships are becoming far more attractive as they are for people of any age and are fully funded. There are no tuition fees and apprentices will not face a huge debt when they qualify.

The government’s move to lower the repayment threshold from its current rate of £27,000 to £25,000 as the point at which graduates must use 9% of their income to repay loans.

The plans will see most university leavers pay far more for their degrees over their lifetime than they do now. It effectively completes the transformation of student ‘loans’, for most, into a working-life-long graduate tax.

These apprenticeships can start at any time of year and do not need to align with the college academic year. Get in touch if you would like us to help find you an apprentice.

Huge thanks to everyone who participated in National Apprenticeship Week telling us their stories and helping spread the word about some of the great apprenticeships available through Sigta.

Each day for National Apprenticeship Week (7-13 Feb 22) we are featuring apprentices who are currently on (or recently completed) Sigta apprenticeship programmes. Here’s Matt from Beacon Controls.
