If your child is leaving School this year and is looking at their next options, have they considered an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is a fantastic way to get a foot on the career ladder of your choice, and Apprenticeships have been proven to be a viable option where your child can learn invaluable, hands-on skills and also get paid while they learn.
Your child will work in a real work environment, with a contract of employment and a salary, and Apprenticeships are a progressive route which can lead to full time employment and can even lead onto a Degree with the introduction of Higher and Degree Apprenticeships in sectors such as accountancy, law and engineering – your child can gain all of the qualifications without all of the debt!
All Apprenticeships are paid a wage, and this varies upon their age and the organisations. The minimum wage for an Apprentice can be found here.
