Apprenticeships are open to school leavers or existing employees within an organisation. In order to undertake an Apprenticeship you must be supported by an Employer.
This occupation is found in a wide range of public and private sector organisations who work with large data sets including Government departments, NHS, financial and professional services, IT companies, retail and sales and education providers.

Apprenticeships are funded based on employer Wage Bills. There are two types of employers and funding is based on the employer category you fall under:
A Levy employer with a pay bill of more than £3 million is required to pay the Apprenticeship Levy. Funds can be managed using the Apprenticeship service and spent towards training and assessing Apprentices. The government will apply a 10% top-up to the funds you have in your account.
Maximum funding from the government is capped at £19,000 for the Data Engineer Level 5 Apprenticeship.
What employer category do I fall under?For non-Levy paying employers, the government will fund 95% of the cost of training an apprentice, with a 5% contribution from the employer.
For an employer with fewer than 50 employees, the government will fund 100% of the cost for Apprentices aged 16-18, or Apprentices aged 19-24 with an education and healthcare need.
Maximum funding from the government is capped at £19,000 for the Data Engineer Level 5 Apprenticeship.
