Why pick an apprenticeship?

There are over 150,000 employers offering apprenticeships in over 170 industries in the UK – and this figure is increasing every year!

But why pick an apprenticeship? Check out our top four tips to why you should consider one.

1) Earn while you learn

We’ll start with quite a big draw – you’ll receive a wage and paid holiday. Depending on the employer, learning will either be on a one day a week basis, or in blocks of several days. They’re either offered in the workplace or at a local college.

2) Preparation for working

Each week you’ll be working alongside experienced staff while gaining job-specific skills and earning a wage! Due to the nature of your study it enables you to develop your knowledge and skills quickly. And your employer will provide you with practical experience so you can put your new skills to the test! What better way to prepare for full-time work?

All apprentices will work at least 30 hours a week.

3) You’ll receive a qualification

At the end of the apprenticeship you’ll receive a qualification such as NVQ, HNC, City & Guilds, BTEC, or City and Guilds award. All of these are national, recognised qualifications that will look great on the CV!

4)     You could go on to university

Once you complete your apprenticeship you may be able to go in to permanent work with your current employer, look at other jobs or, with your new qualification, go into higher education. There are different things to consider before going to university or college but we have lots of helpful advice on ucas.com to get you started.

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app contact : +44 7520 636249‬

An apprenticeship’s climax creates opportunities for many directions. Graduates might move into permanent positions with their current employers, opt for alternative jobs or use their new qualification to further their education. This flexibility allows individuals to make informed decisions about their future careers.
