6. Advice BE PREPARED! Look at widely advertised apprenticeships
Good Maths and English grades are a priority.
Make sure your social media profiles are private and photos are appropriate.
Keep an open mind, always have a back up plan.
Keep applying for apprenticeships, even if you’ve started your course at college/6th form – beware of starting Level 3 vocational courses
Be prepared: Not like a college or 6th form application- competitive, similar to applying for a full time position. Ensure your cv is as up to date and as impressive as possible, interview techniques up to scratch. The impetus is on you to contact employers, follow up applications. Drive and determination to successfully get the apprenticeship is what you need however the benefits are worth it.
Not just with apprenticeships or Skills Made Easy but always have a back up plan- story about me not getting into Uni.
Chance to do maths and english quals during apprenticeship however achievening good maths and english grades are a priority.
Widely advertised apprenticeships- NAS, colleges, employment websites.
Keep an open mind- the job and industry you think is your dream job may not be when you start a specific job in that industry. May not suit you the way you think.
