Apprenticeships Explained:​ A guide for young people & their parents/carers​

Choosing the right next step after school can feel overwhelming – for young people and for parents.

This free online webinar is designed to help families better understand apprenticeships as an alternative route to university, and to support informed conversations about future education and career choices.

What will the session cover?

  • What apprenticeships really are (and what they’re not)
  • How apprenticeships compare to the traditional university route
  • The different levels available, from entry level to degree and master’s level
  • Education choices at 16 to 18 and how they support future apprenticeship options
  • How and where to find apprenticeship opportunities
  • Practical tips to help young people prepare and stand out
  • How parents can best support decision-making

Who should attend?

  • Students aged 14 to 19 considering their future options
  • Parents and carers who want to better understand apprenticeships
  • Anyone exploring alternatives to full-time university study

Why attend?

Apprenticeships combine paid employment, structured learning, and nationally recognised qualifications, offering a different but equally valuable route into skilled careers.

This session will help demystify apprenticeships and provide clear, impartial guidance to support confident
decision-making.
