Summary

Foundation apprenticeships are introductory courses that help young people get started in an industry. You do not need to have any specific qualifications or experience to apply.

Anyone between 16 and 21 can start a foundation apprenticeship.

If you're between 22 and 24, you can start if you:

  • have an EHC plan

Foundation Apprenticeships are employed roles for young people, combining workplace experience with off-the-job learning.

In finishing trades (flooring), apprentices work safely across projects, building skills, knowledge, and behaviours to support construction teams and progress their careers.
