Apprenticeships
If your son/daughter feels they would like to get work experience and qualifications at the same time – plus earn a wage - an Apprenticeship could be for them.
Apprenticeships are good if your son/daughter knows what job they want to do. They need to be very committed - they’ll be doing a real job working alongside experienced people in the work place – and they’ll also receive extra training at a college or specialist training centre, usually on day release.
Apprenticeships are available in hundreds of different areas of work.
There are two levels
Both lead to NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications), Key Skills qualifications and Technical Certificates.
