Keen to learn the skills that will help you get a real job? If you’re aged between 16 and 25 you could benefit from signing up for an apprenticeship scheme.
Companies and the government offer apprenticeships in a range of careers, everything from administration jobs to IT jobs to plastering jobs, and they’re becoming more and more popular with young people who are choosing them as a different route to college and A-Levels or university.
Apprenticeship schemes are basically like starting in a junior job for your chosen career but with the added bonus of help and support along the way and a chance to experience a real working environment in your chosen career. You’ll also have the opportunity while doing the job to train for qualifications such as NVQs with time out to attend a learning centre close by.
