Description

With a Graduate Apprenticeship in Civil Engineering, your employees will build a career in a key growth sector. They'll develop skills to build and shape the world, including roads and railways, schools, hospitals and water supply.

The key content areas which the apprenticeship supports are:

How does it work?

Apprentices will learn in a real-world environment and earn a wage. They’ll also study at university about 1 day a week. At the end they’ll have achieved an honours degree. 

Cost and funding

As Graduate Apprentices are your employees, you'll pay their salary. This is not set by SDS but we encourage all employers to pay the Living Wage.

For Graduate Apprentices who started in 2019 and 2020, we'll fund their learning costs for the duration of the course.

How long will it take?

This is a Graduate Apprenticeship at SCQF Level 10 (Honours degree level) and will take up to 4 years to complete.

Some people might complete the apprenticeship in a shorter time. That’s because they might have prior learning or experience that can be taken into consideration. This means they wouldn't have to repeat some parts of the qualification.
