Modern apprenticeships

The Modern Apprenticeship programme aims to provide young people with high quality, mentored, job-based training towards national qualifications.

In the programme, Modern Apprenticeship Co-ordinators (MACs) help young people access and complete Modern Apprenticeships. They also encourage employers to take on young people as Modern Apprentices. While most MACs are ITOs[1], some ITPs[2], PTEs[3], community organisations and career-advising bodies also provide this service.
