Kent Success Apprenticeships

If you want the chance to work for Kent County Council after leaving school while gaining a qualification and earning money, why not consider a Kent Success Apprenticeship?

We have vacancies across Kent in a wide range of careers and departments and you can start any time of the year.

What's in it for you?

You'll receive a salary of £80 per week and will be training while doing your job. There will also be some 'off-the-job' training at a centre near you.

Throughout the programme, you will have the full support of your tutor, KEY Training Services and a workplace mentor.

Apprenticeship subjects

We have apprenticeships in:

  • business and administration
  • hospitality and catering
  • childcare
  • health and social care
  • customer service
  • warehousing
  • retail

Qualifying for a Kent Success apprenticeship

Apprenticeships are available to young people aged 16 to 24 with GCSE grades A to C in English and Maths. They take between nine to 15 months to complete, during which time you can apply for permanent jobs within the council.

If you don't have the qualifications to apply for an apprenticeship, you can join KEY Training Service's 'Open Door Programme'. It caters for all abilities and you will get the chance to gain key skills qualifications, employability skills and real work experience for up to 12 weeks, after which time you will be able to apply for a Kent Success apprenticeship.

How to apply

To apply for either a Kent Success Apprenticeship or the Open Door Programme, please call KEY Training Services on 0800 7314297 or email keytrainingservices@kent.gov.uk.

Places on the Kent Success programme are dependent on vacancies being available in your area, your assessment and your interview.
