Work Experience and Apprenticeships
Camden Future Talent team creates work experience and apprenticeships opportunities exclusively for local people.
Work experience placements offer short-term insights into the world of work or a particular industry. Apprenticeships are paid jobs, which offer hands-on experience alongside training. They are open to anyone aged 16 plus.
If you’re leaving education, job seeking or you’re in work but want to change career, work experience or an apprenticeship can provide great stepping stones into a wide range of sectors. These opportunities are suitable for people who want to develop their skills and experience in a particular field.
Construction Apprenticeships
Euston Skills Centre offers a variety of free training courses to prepare people for a career in construction, as well as Construction Apprenticeships and jobs which are exclusively for Camden and Islington residents.
Via an apprenticeship, you’ll gain a nationally-recognised qualification, skills and the practical experience needed to get into the sector.

Sixth forms, colleges and post-16 options
What you decide to do after Year 11 is important for your future. Your choices right now can affect how easily you get a job or continue your education later.
At 16, you can either stay in full-time education or start working in a job that includes part-time education, such as an apprenticeship or training.
Find out more about Camden sixth forms and colleges and check out Camden’s Post-16 Prospectus for the full-range of options.
