Newcastle-under-Lyme College has been delighted to support The Sentinel ’s 100 in 100 Apprenticeships campaign.The successful campaign has seen the College help a number of students, in a variety of subject areas, take the next step on their career path with an Apprenticeship.
During the campaign the College, due to popular demand, has launched a number of new and exciting Apprenticeships. These include Creative Industries and Sports.
These are in addition to the wide variety Apprenticeships that the College already has on offer: Accounting; Business and Admin istration; Brickwork; Carpentry and Joinery; Children’s Care; Customer Service; Electrical Installation; Engineering; Hairdressing; Health and Social Care; IT; Management; Painting and Decorating Retail and Warehousing.
Don’t forget, NULC offers Apprenticeships for adults as well as school leavers. Scott Clarke aged 23, an Apprentice currently studying towards an Apprenticeship in Electrical Installation said: “I enjoy my Apprenticeships – I’m getting the qualifications whilst I’m working and learning first hand. The atmosphere at NULC is far more relaxed than school and the tutors are very friendly”.
Anyone who starts an Apprenticeship with NULC can be assured that they’ll get the support they need from day one – with a personal Assessor who’ll support both the apprentice and the employer, on-site and at College.
The College’s success rates go beyond A Levels and vocational courses – an impressive 69% of students studying an Apprenticeship at NULC, complete their Apprenticeship before or within the suggested time frame (6% above the national benchmark).
