Apprenticeships
What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship in transport, logistics, management, or operations is a full time paid role that combines practical work experience with structured training. Apprentices usually work around 30 hours each week, with at least 20 percent of that time, or about six hours, set aside for off the job learning such as workshops, classroom sessions, or industry projects.
Apprentices receive the same benefits as other employees, including pay, holidays, and access to company resources. With guidance from a workplace mentor or supervisor, they develop practical skills and professional knowledge in transport systems, logistics, and management while also building confidence, leadership, and problem solving abilities throughout the programme.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upskill, a Higher or Master’s Apprenticeship can take your career to the next level.
Off-the-job training is a mandatory part of every apprenticeship delivered through TTS. It includes any learning completed during paid working hours that sits outside normal duties but helps develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to meet the apprenticeship standard.
Training must take place within normal paid hours and the required time varies by programme. Apprentices must complete these hours to reach the gateway stage and finish their apprenticeship.
TTS works with employers to plan, schedule, and support this training, ensuring apprentices have the time and structure they need to succeed.
Why employ an Apprentice?
Hiring apprentices is a proven way to develop talent and strengthen employee retention. Research shows that 80% of companies that invest in apprenticeships see improved staff retention. At a time when 86% of employers face challenges finding suitable talent, apprenticeships help close skills gaps, boost retention, and build relevant industry expertise. Many apprenticeship programs also provide professional recognition, further validating the apprentice’s skills and competence.
