Pre-apprenticeships
Make your CV shine with 6 months of work experience
Central YMCA’s Pre-apprenticeships are the perfect way for you to gain skills and work experience to accelerate your career.
What is a Pre-apprenticeship?
A Pre-apprenticeship (sometimes called an internship or work placement) is an important step towards securing an apprenticeship or job. There’s no denying that experience counts when it comes to the job market – it’s a way to signal to employers that you’re ‘work-ready’.
Our 6-month pre-apprenticeships allow you to develop first-hand experience of the workplace.
Designed for 16-18-year olds, pre-apprenticeships develop you in three ways:
Essential work preparation training
English and maths
Work experience, in a sector you’re interested in
On completing the pre-apprenticeship you’re guaranteed a job interview if a role becomes available or an exit interview together with meaningful written feedback to help you secure an apprenticeship or employment with another employer.
