Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a great way to gain a new qualification whilst getting the skills and experience employers are looking for, and are increasingly popular and a fantastic way to start or further your career plans. We offer apprenticeships in a number of different subjects, each allowing you to complete a training programme specific to your chosen career.

Get a step ahead of the rest with an apprenticeship at Colchester Institute. You can browse through our latest apprenticeship vacancies, where you’ll find fantastic opportunities with local and regional employers across a number of industries.

Alternatively you can search through the many exciting subject areas we are able to offer apprenticeships in.

different everyday. it suits me better than being in an office
environment. The experience helps you get straight into
a job and sets you apart from the rest.

Apprenticeship Events

We offer apprenticeship-specific information evenings as part of our annual open event schedule.

These events are perfect for those looking to find out more about apprenticeships. We start the event with a welcome and introduction presentation. You’ll then have the opportunity to talk with employers, current apprentices and our expert trainers and assessors, who will show you what it’s really like to be an apprentice!

These events take place at our Colchester campus, where parking is free for the event.
