Information for apprentices

There are over 700 approved apprenticeships available and with so much choice, it can be daunting to know what type of apprenticeship you'd like to do. Some of the following pages can help inform your decision:

• I Can Be A... Career Wizard - Select your interests on the Career Wizard and you'll get suggestions on careers that match your interests. This website also has lots of information on different sectors and job roles, which all lead to organisations in the local area, so you can see what roles are available in the county.
• Skills England - Approved Apprenticeship Standard - browse the full list of apprenticeship standards that are approved for delivery in England.
• National Apprenticeship Service - search through apprenticeships by job sector and interests.

Sourcing your own opportunities

It is important to remember that you need to have an employer in order to complete an apprenticeship. If you can't see any opportunities that you'd like to do, why not try contacting employers you would like to work with and see if they'd be interested in taking you on as an apprentice? It may also help to ask if they could give you some work experience so you could find out more about the jobs there, whilst demonstrating the skills you can bring to the company. 

If they are interested, we can help them to get the apprenticeship set up by giving expert advice and guidance, and supporting them along the way. They can also find out more information by visiting Information for employers.
