Talking the first steps up the career ladder or embarking on further education is sometimes difficult and often confusing. It often takes many people years to realise what route they want to follow. What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? What’s best for you?

An apprenticeship is one of the best ways to fill the skills gap in the UK workforce. There are now more than 250,000 apprentices currently training on over 200 different Apprenticeships. Apprenticeships provide work-based training to young people and adults who want to learn new skills and gain qualifications while working. Through promoting this training, our aim is to ensure that both young people and employers can get the most out of apprenticeships and apprentices themselves gain the best quality in terms of learning.
