This year, Petroc has seen an unprecedented rise in interest for apprenticeships, with applications far outnumbering the vacancies currently available.
While this surge highlights the growing appeal of work-based learning among young people, it also brings a challenge—many motivated candidates are still waiting for the right opportunity.
To help bridge this gap, Petroc has introduced a Pre-Apprenticeship Programme — a pathway designed to equip learners with essential workplace skills and employability attributes. This tailored initiative prepares participants to step seamlessly into a Foundation or full apprenticeship when vacancies arise.
Calling Local Employers: Your Support Can Make a Difference
We’re now reaching out to local employers to help provide short-term placement opportunities for these enthusiastic learners. Your involvement could:
- Give a young person valuable, real-world experience in your industry
- Strengthen your early talent pipeline
- Showcase how a Pre-Apprenticeship can lead directly to a Foundation Apprenticeship
- No cost to your business
Employers across construction, digital, engineering, health and social care, and motor vehicle sectors are especially encouraged to get involved.
