Imagine being able to make money, learn a trade and get set up for a job - all at the same time.
Under the Army FE Award Scheme that's exactly what's happening in colleges across the UK. People are being financially rewarded for their college achievements, learning vital job skills - and getting one-on-one career support and guidance from the Army while they're doing it.
The Army Award is worth £2000. You get £1000 while you are at college - and you'll get another £1000 at the end of the course when you join the army (assuming you complete your Phase 1 training). The commitment you make in return is to spend a minimum of four years in the army.
The Army Award gives you a lot more than just money, it is also the way into a fantastic new learning experience that will literally set you up with a career for life.
Anyone aged between 16 and 32 and who is going into Further Education in September 2011 can apply to be part of the Army FE Award Scheme.
Before you can apply you will have to talk to an Army Careers Advisor. Drop into your local Army Careers Information Office or an Armed Forces Careers Office and you'll be able to see what Army life is like. To find your nearest Careers Office please click here.
