Rewards
Apprentices earn whilst they learn. How much you get paid varies depending on your company. You may start on a modest salary during your first year which is usually spent at college, but this will probably step-up each year until qualification.
Two things are worth remembering. Engineering apprentices are highly valued and on average earn more than apprentices in other industry. Secondly qualified engineers are always in demand and are well paid.
