Interested in earning whilst learning? This is the blog for you! I'll be discussing the basics of an apprenticeship, benefits, different sectors you can get into any many more.
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is when you study whilst also gaining experience within the related work field. By doing an apprenticeship, you are saving yourself from the debt of university and most importantly equipping yourself with the skills and knowledge you need to prosper both academically and career-wise. There are many different apprenticeships available: Level 3-7, Degree Apprenticeships (you receive a degree by the end whilst also gaining experience).
Benefits of an Apprenticeship:
- No student debt
- You can learn whilst also earning at the same time
- Gaining a well recognized qualification
- Real world experiences- Employers are starting to choose experience over a degree
- Easier to network
- More opportunies available as you start to network with others
