Choosing a career is pretty daunting, right? How do you pick the right one? An apprenticeship is an opportunity to earn while you learn. If you’re 16 years old or over, you can avoid the typical debts many students encounter and take the first step on the career ladder.

Earning a wage gives you financial independence. By choosing an apprenticeship, you can put money in your pocket and still gain vital qualifications. Studying while you work puts you ahead of other young people, proving your worth to an employer and demonstrating you can already do the job.

Long gone are the days when an apprenticeship was for the ‘less academic’ student. It is a universal, well-evidenced fact that apprenticeships are the future for so many career choices, delivering up to degree-level qualifications and affording access to a range of professions.

So, where can an apprenticeship take you? As high as you are prepared to aim for.
