The Sheffield College

The Sheffield College is the largest provider of Apprenticeships in the region, supporting students, communities, employers and the economy.

We work with approximately 900 employers training more than 2,700 Apprentices across 130 Apprenticeship programmes.

Our Apprentices develop the practical skills to go further in their careers and earn as they learn in the workplace.

Employers benefit from Apprenticeships because they get access to tailored skillsets, fresh ideas and can recruit from a diverse pool of talented students.

Today’s Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of industries and professions, including business and professional, construction, engineering, health and social care, hospitality and catering, digital technology, dental, and many more.

Research commissioned by the College has shown that:

• for every £1 that students forgo whilst undertaking an apprenticeship, they receive £6.20 in higher future wages

• employers receive £1.30 in return for every £1 invested in the College’s apprentices, as those apprentices become more competent, skilled and productive

• former College apprentices employed in the Sheffield City Region workforce in 2017/18 contributed £9.2 million in added income
