What is this service?
This information is designed to support parents/carers, teachers and employers too, helping everyone to understand the benefits of apprenticeships here in Sutton and its surrounding areas, and how we can all support young people to make the right decisions.
Here are five things you probably didn't know about apprenticeships:
-
There are over 250 apprenticeships to choose from, ranging from business administration to boat building.
-
You can do an apprenticeship that is equivalent to a degree.
-
Apprenticeships can act as the first stepping stone in your career - they don't just come to an end after a year.
-
Many employers prioritise on-the-job experience, so an apprenticeship can help you to 'Get Ahead' of many students who go down the university route.
-
It doesn't cost you anything - you will be debt-free by the time you get qualified.
Now you have an insight into apprenticeships, take the time to explore the Sutton Apprenticeship Hub to learn even more.
