We can advertise your apprenticeship

The BPIF is a Youth Friendly Learning Provider, meaning we understand the importance of helping young people into education and training, shaping their future and supporting them along the journey. The printing industry is the 5th largest manufacturing industry in the UK.

Apprenticeships are ideal for those wanting to embrace their creative talent, looking for an alternative to University and a chance to get educated to degree level without the mountains of debt.

We can help train apprentices in the following areas:

• Digital Print
• Machine Printing
• Print Finishing & Binding
• Print Administration
• Carton Manufacture
• Business Administration
• Team Leading
• Management

Apprentices will become part of a £13.5bn industry and start their career immediately.

Here's what our apprentices have to say:

Why did you choose an apprenticeship?

I chose an apprenticeship due to the fact that going to uni doesn't guarantee me a job anymore like it used to, nowadays employers want experience within a desired role or industry. I believe that an apprenticeship offers the opportunity to gain both knowledge and experience which is crucial to getting a job today.

Daniel Pelly, 21 - Machine Printing Level 3
 

What's your favourite part of your apprenticeship?

Learning from people who have so much experience and can pass on a wealth of knowledge

Jonathan Taylor, 26 - Machine Printing Level 3
 

If someone wasn't sure about an apprenticeship, what would you say to them?

I'd tell them about my story and others that I know. I would show them all the great things my apprenticeship has brought me and explain it could be the same for them too.

Josh Thomas, 24 - Print Finishing & Binding Level 3
 

Would you recommend an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are great, there's no limit to what you can achieve. In many ways I think apprenticeships are a much better alternative to university. The same level of qualification can be achieved and you get real experience within the job you are doing. So once you pass your apprenticeship and start the job as a fully qualified member of staff, you are a lot more confident then someone who has just left uni and starting the job for the first time.

If you had to describe your apprenticeship in 5 words - what would you say?

The best decision I made!
