So you’re interested in an Apprenticeship? Well at Aspire Housing we’re committed to Apprenticeships.
We understand that for many people school may be frustrating, especially if all you want to do is get out into the world, start working and earning a living. Likewise, if you are already in employment you may be looking to increase your skills and knowledge to help your career progression or to change direction.
''In September 2008 I started my Apprenticeship in Business Administration at Aspire Housing. I really enjoy the variety of work and the people I work with are really helpful and supportive. Not only am I learning on a daily basis as part of the job but I'm also working towards an NVQ Level 2 in Business Admin''. Liam Nicholls, Business Administration Apprentice.
We have a vast range of Apprenticeships at Aspire including;
- Gas

As an Apprentice you will learn on the job, gaining valuable knowledge and skills, whilst working towards a qualification and earning a wage. You’ll be supported to achieve a work-based qualification such as a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) and other nationally recognised qualifications. Typically Apprenticeships last between two and three years to complete and the starting rate of pay is £95 per week, with performance related increases.
