Are Apprenticeships the Future?

Altering Perceptions Every year over 750,000 students take their A Level exams, each individual with the aspiration of climbing up the ladder in their chosen fields, and ultimately becoming successful and indeed well paid.

Due to the lack of choice, the decision seemed to be a fairly easy one, that was until apprenticeships rocked the boat.
