Cabinet Member for Council Services, Councillor Angelique Foster, said: "Apprenticeships are a great way for a young person to get a start on the career ladder and I'm delighted that we have so many opportunities available.
"With an apprenticeship you can earn while you learn, receive on-the-job training and gain a qualification that employers really value."
The Council is accepting applications from anyone aged over 16, either school leavers or those looking to train in something new.
The closing date for applications is 16 July 2017.
The Conservatives have committed to creating 1000 apprenticeships within the authority as part of their election-winning manifesto, which has a strong focus on improving employment and skills within Derbyshire.
