It’s the 11th National Apprenticeship Week this year, when the UK celebrates everything these programmes have to offer. As usual at we’ve got information on Intermediate, Advanced and Higher Apprenticeships and Degree Apprenticeships, CV and cover letter writing, job interview preparation, and explorations of 50 different industries and the apprenticeships on offer within them.
There’s also insight from school leavers already on apprenticeship schemes, so you can get the real story from people just a few years older than you.
If you’re feeling inspired check out our live jobs board for the latest apprenticeships – you can search for opportunities by location, industry and employer. This National Apprenticeship Week there’s never been a better time to check out what the programmes have to offer!
