What Are Digital Apprenticeships?

Digital apprenticeships combine practical, on-the-job experience with structured learning, allowing individuals to gain qualifications while contributing to your business.

They’re not just for school leavers—many employers are using them to reskill or upskill existing staff in response to digital transformation.

Whether you’re looking to bring in new talent or upskill your existing team, digital apprenticeships offer a flexible, cost-effective solution that’s already making a difference across North Wales.

Why choose Digital Apprenticeships?

  • Address digital skills shortages
  • Develop in-house talent aligned with business needs
  • Support innovation and productivity
  • Access funded training through Welsh Government initiatives

Digital apprenticeships are particularly valuable for SMEs looking to grow sustainably, as well as larger organisations seeking to modernise their workforce.
