How is a Young Apprenticeship Structured?

A Young Apprenticeship (YA) is completed during years 10 and 11 (key stage 4) of secondary education, and is completed alongside core curriculum subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science. Three days a week, young apprentices will follow the core national curriculum subjects and an average of two days a week will be spent on the YA programme.
