Start Your Career with a Greenlight Apprenticeship

Looking to take your first step into a rewarding career? Greenlight apprenticeships offer the opportunity to earn, learn, and build real skills in a hands-on environment from day one.

Whether you’re leaving school or ready for a career change, Greenlight supports learners in gaining experience, achieving recognised qualifications, and progressing into long-term careers.

What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a real job with training, where learners can:
• Get paid while they learn
• Gain hands-on experience with an employer
• Work towards a recognised qualification
• Access a wide range of career opportunities

This combines on-the-job experience with structured training through Greenlight, helping them build practical, real-world skills.

Why Choose a Greenlight Apprenticeship?

Choosing a Greenlight apprenticeship means earning a wage from day one while developing the skills employers are looking for. Learners gain valuable workplace experience, build confidence, and create a strong foundation for a long-term career.

Apprenticeships typically last 18 to 27 months and finish with an End Point Assessment, where learners demonstrate their skills and knowledge.

Start with a Foundation Apprenticeship

For those not quite ready for a full apprenticeship, Greenlight foundation apprenticeships offer an ideal starting point.

Lasting around 8 months, these programmes provide a real introduction to a trade or industry, helping learners decide if it’s the right path before committing long term.

During the programme, you will:
• Gain hands-on workplace experience
• Take part in structured training
• Develop key employability skills
• Apply Maths and English in real work situations

Many go on to Level 2 or Level 3 apprenticeships or move directly into employment.
