Explore your career path
There's more than one way in. Here's what each route actually involves — how long it takes, what you come out with, and who it tends to suit.
Apprenticeships
Earn a wage and a qualification at the same time, with no student debt.
A real job from day one with training built in — usually four days working, one studying. Most people start here straight after GCSEs or A-levels.
Degree apprenticeships
A full bachelor's degree, paid for by your employer, while you work.
The same degree as a full-time student, plus several years of experience and no tuition debt. Highly competitive — apply early and widely.
Work experience
Try a career before you commit to it.
Short placements and insight days that show you what a job is really like day to day — and give you something concrete to talk about at interview.
Graduate roles
Structured programmes with training, mentoring and a clear path up.
For people finishing a degree. Rotations across teams, a cohort you start with, and a defined route into a permanent role.
T-Levels
A technical alternative to A-levels, with a proper industry placement built in.
Two years of study equivalent to three A-levels, including at least 45 days on placement with a real employer.

Considering an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships let you earn a wage and a qualification at the same time. Here are five reasons people choose them:
A huge range of careers
There are hundreds of apprenticeship standards across every industry — law, marketing, construction, healthcare, engineering and plenty you won't have thought of.
Earn and learn
You'll earn at least the apprentice National Minimum Wage, and many employers pay well above it. You get holiday, sick pay and the same rights as any other employee — see what's paying now.
Strong career prospects
Employers rate apprentices highly precisely because they've done the job. Many large employers train their graduates and apprentices side by side.
Learn on the job
There's only so much a classroom can teach you. As an apprentice you learn by doing the real work — and you can try it out first with work experience.
