It’s difficult to know what steps to take next if you’re not going to university. But long gone are the days where going to university was the only route to success within the working world. You can take an apprenticeship in just about any field these days from tattooing to digital marketing. Here are 3 reasons why you should become an apprentice and kickstart your career.
- You get an introduction to the working world, and learn useful on the job skills
Doing an apprenticeship means that you will get a great introduction to the working world, as well as kick starting you career on the right foot, with the right people.
Learning on the job also helps to teach you skills that you wouldn’t be able to learn at university. Nowadays employers value experience a lot more, and having more relevant experience can help you get better jobs.
2. You get to meet people from all walks of life
During an apprenticeship you will have many opportunities to network, from people within your company, to external people you might meet at networking or large training events.
It can help you improve your social skills and expand your contacts within the industry, which is always useful.
3. You will have a job already lined up for you once you finish your apprenticeship
When your apprenticeship ends you will more than likely be asked to continue your job at the company you work at. Meaning you will already have a job lined up that you can continue getting better at, progressing your career path.
Happy apprenticeship hunting!
