Work experience and apprenticeships

Work experience involves a short-term placement with an employer – normally between two and six weeks but sometimes longer. It may be paid or unpaid, depending on the employer. It’s a good way to build confidence and workplace skills as well as enhancing your CV.

An apprenticeship is a paid job, which provides both work experience and the chance to study towards a nationally-recognised qualification. 

We have a range of opportunities to match different interests and levels – some suit complete beginners but there are options for people seeking more complex and demanding roles as well.

Our service is open to you if:

  • you’re a Camden resident, former Camden secondary school student or Camden care leaver
  • you’re aged 16 or above.

Many employers now offer apprenticeships with flexible hours to suit your outside commitments. Training providers also offer support for those with additional needs.

Euston Skills Centre

An apprenticeship with Euston Skills Centre means you’ll spend part of your time studying and the rest on construction sites, gaining practical experience and applying your skills in the real world of construction.

We offer a variety of training courses available free to unemployed local residents.

At Euston Skills Centre, in partnership with our training provider College of North West London, we offer construction training:

  • Pre-apprenticeship level 1 in multi-skills
  • Level 2 diplomas in plumbing, electrical installation, carpentry and joinery

All the training is available to Camden and Islington residents aged 16 plus, apart from multi-skills which is for ages 16 to 18.

In addition to the above courses, Euston Skills Centre helps local residents aged 16 plus to get into apprenticeships in a variety of trades from steel fixing to site management and many more, in and around Camden and on the new King's Cross development.
