Apprenticeships are now available to people at all levels within the organisation. So whether you are taking your first steps into employment, or want to undertake development training to grow your career; there is an apprenticeship for you.
- For the Council, our Apprenticeship Programme offers the opportunity to ‘grow our own’ workforce, and to recruit and retain motivated people.
- For existing staff, it means being able to access training and qualifications at no financial cost to you, or your team and with no changes to your employment terms and conditions.
- For new staff joining the Council it is an opportunity to earn money while you learn.

They offer the following core apprenticeship programmes internally.

If you are an ESCC employee unsure how an apprenticeship works, there is an intranet page dedicated to an Introduction to Apprenticeships that will provide you with a general overview. Either use this link (Introduction to Apprenticeships – ESCC Intranet ) or simply type “apprenticeships” into the ESCC intranet search bar. If you are not an ESCC employee please see the Government’s apprenticeship website.
