Introduction

  1. After your A-Levels, University isn't the only option open to you.
  2. Based in the Careers Room, Mrs Elliot can offer advice on alternative options such as apprenticeships.
  3. The Government's official Apprenticeship Search website provides details of local options.
  4. In addition, apprenticeships that are shared with the School are pinned to the noticeboard in the Sixth Form Centre.
  5. An apprenticeship is a paid job with training and qualifications. Higher and degree apprenticeships are aimed specifically at students with A-levels/equivalent. They give you a higher-education qualification - even a degree - and you can train for a high-skilled role in industries such as engineering, software engineering, public sector, law and healthcare.
  6. Higher apprenticeships allow you to train for a highly skilled job. Unlike university, you don't have to pay – in fact, you'll get paid a wage by your employer. You'll learn by doing the job you're training for, and study for qualifications along the way – you could even finish with a degree.
