fully funded Apprenticeships & short courses

An Apprenticeship gives you hands on experience, a salary and the opportunity to train while you work! Apprentice programmes have changed in recent years – they are now open to people of any age and provide a great way of developing specialist skills in addition to wider, transferrable business skills.

who is it for?

Zen employees can now apply to study on fully funded apprenticeship programmes. This could be to support the development of foundational skills in an entry level role, or to support further role specific skills when moving into a new role. In addition there are foundation and degree level programmes available for people looking at longer term senior management development.

Programmes now cover wider business skills such as problem solving, communication and project management. These skills would be covered in addition to the specific sets of knowledge and technical skills for the vocational area.

You will gain an official certification of your skills, ranging from level 2 (GCSE equivalent) up to degree level.

how is an apprenticeship delivered?

Apprenticeships offer flexible delivery methods that fit around the workplace, which could include:-

• Block attendance on workshops
• On-site workshops and coach-led sessions
• Online webinars and workshops
