Why this September is the time to consider an Apprenticeship
As
autumn draws in and the last of the summer sun is drifting away it can feel
like everything is moving on without you. Friends and brothers and sisters go
back to school or leave for university, parents go back to work but if you
haven’t got another year of school planned or a job yet it can seem like you
are left behind but that doesn’t need to be the case.This
September hundreds of young people are expecting to start Apprenticeships and
you could be one of them!
1. More people than ever are
doing it
The
amount of people taking apprenticeships has risen and the amount of people
going to university has fallen. Trends show that more people are now
considering taking an Apprenticeship because it means that they can start doing
something they love practically as well as learn about it. The competition is
high and you need to make sure that you come out on top!
2. You get paid instead of
getting into debt
Unlike
university where you have to pay to attend at an Apprenticeship you will start
earning from day one. Your employer will invest their time into you because
they are investing their money into you and so will want you to succeed.
3. You can still go to
university after
You
can start an apprenticeship from the age of 16 meaning that you can be ready to
go to university still if this is your long-term plan. You will have practical
experience and a work reference that will put you ahead of other candidates.
Some employers will even support employees through university if that is their
goal.
4. You become part of a
mature environment, working with lots of different people
The
great thing about the working world is that you get to meet lots of new people
from different backgrounds and lifestyles. You will notice that you mature a
lot quicker, are more confident and have good personable skills before no time!
5. You will have skills that
all employers look for
It
might sound basic but you will learn basic skills that will take you a long way
when you apply for jobs later or progress within the company. This could be
taking calls, writing invoices, social media marketing, even being able to make
a good cup of tea and coffee is always a positive!
What are the benefits of
apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships
are great especially if you want to move away from the structured school
environment. Apprenticeships get you out there into the real, working world.
Not only will you be earning a wage but you will also be gaining the skills and
experience that you need to have a successful career many years on.
So how do apprenticeships
work?
Firstly
at the start of an Apprenticeship you sign up with a training provider (like
us) and we find a placement for you in a real working environment. You will be
given an assessor who will work with you throughout the duration of your
apprenticeship who will provide support, information, advice and guidance.They will come to your work place and carry
out observations and help you with coursework and at the end they will assess
that you have passed all the stages and are ready to become a regular employee.
