Apprenticeship jobs: Kickstart your career with live vacancies on the South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Hub

And what’s more, the hub has now made it much easier for would-be apprentices to connect with employers who could hold the key to a fulfilling future.

The South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Hub - which covers Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield - is developing a regional talent pool and connecting would-be apprentices with future employers.

This connection has now been made easier via the click of a mouse. Young people and adults looking to start an apprenticeship can now search for live vacancies on the hub’s website.

Apprenticeships: There is something for everyone

There are more than 200 vacancies on the hub website, ranging from the chance to become a firefighter or gunner with the Royal Air Force to studying an apprenticeship in horse care at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.

There is something for everyone: From catering, design, digital marketing and education to construction, engineering, health, science and transport.

The South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Hub is also giving proactive opportunities to would-be apprentices.

People can showcase their potential by uploading their CV into the website – this is then shared with employers looking to recruit apprentices.

The facts: What an apprenticeship could do for you

Apprenticeships are open to people over the age of 16, give people the opportunity to either start, redirect or progress their careers.

If you’re a school or college leaver, a university graduate, someone looking to return to work, or a practising professional who wants to upskill, then an apprenticeship route is an ideal solution.

Apprentices not only gain a recognised qualification and industry-leading skills at the heart of a business, but they also earn as they learn.

Keith Richardson, the manager of the South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Hub, says: “There is no better way of learning than to do the job itself. By choosing an apprenticeship you’ll receive all the tools to truly excel in your career.”

The facts: Businesses can find the talent they need

South Yorkshire Apprenticeship Hub provides a ‘one-stop shop’ service to help small to medium sized businesses access the talent they need to fill skill shortages and create new jobs.

Keith Richardson explains: “Small to medium sized employers are the lifeblood of our economy.

“We provide free impartial advice and support that helps businesses to reap the benefits of apprenticeships by developing their workforce and getting the right skills for growth.”
