Apprenticeships have been around for hundreds of years, and for good reason. They provide a unique opportunity for people to gain hands-on experience and valuable skills in a trade or profession of interest.
Here are the top 5 benefits of becoming an apprentice:
#1 Earn While You Learn
Creating opportunities to earn a salary whilst you learn; obtaining valuable in field experience specific to your role. This helps makes apprenticeships more appealing than a debt riddled uni path.
#2 Industry-Specialised Training
Designed to provide industry-specific training, which is tailored to the needs of the specific trade or profession. This ensures that apprentices are well-prepared and experienced to enter the workforce upon completion of their program.
#3 Shadowing
Apprenticeships offer the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals in your chosen field. Additionally, this mentorship can provide valuable guidance and support from your team at work of which helps apprentices further as they navigate their chosen career.
#4 Networking Possibilities
Opportunities to connect with other professionals and apprentices in the industry. This can mean you gain valuable networking experience and potential job leads down the line.
#5 Employability
Apprenticeships often lead to job offers upon completion. If you are unfortunately let go by your original apprenticeship employer, you have an unique experience and skill set to support you and enhance your employability!
Overall, apprenticeships are an amazing way to access hands-on experience and qualifications to prepare you for your future. If you don’t think University is for you, consider an apprenticeship to help you gain the skills you desire in the field you love.
