Apprenticeship Guidance for Parents/Carers

Is your son/daughter considering an apprenticeship route when they leave us at the age of 16? If so, the information on this page may be useful for you to gather information about apprenticeships and help you to support them with the choice and application process.

The following links provide a wealth of information around apprenticeships: 

Both the government and Success at School give guidance on the different types of apprenticeship that are available, and how to apply for them: 

The government, Career Map, and Get My First Job offer a search function to enable you to find apprenticeships that match your interest. Derwent Training also helps young people find apprenticeships.
