Apprenticeships at Macclesfield College

We take immense pride in our successful Apprenticeship programme, with remarkable statistics that demonstrate the effectiveness of the programme.

With an impressive 90% of Apprentices continuing their employment after successfully completing their Apprenticeships, it highlights our commitment to equipping individuals with invaluable skills for their chosen fields.

 

Furthermore, the impact of the programme on career progression is evident as more than a quarter of former apprentices have been rewarded with promotions within just 12 months of finishing.

Beyond immediate benefits, the long-term advantages are equally compelling, as those who complete an intermediate Apprenticeship earn, on average, between £48,000 and £74,000 more over their lifetimes compared to individuals with equivalent qualifications.
