Apprenticeships are full time paid jobs which include substantial and sustained training, lasting a minimum of 12 months.

There is no central public funded support available towards travel costs for apprentices, but some Local Authorities do offer discounts or concessions for young people on apprenticeships, as they do for those in other forms of learning.
