Finding an apprenticeship
To begin an apprenticeship, you’ll need to find relevant employment AND sign up for the part you do at college. You can find the employment independently, or help is available:
Tips for finding employment
Think about what sort of local companies and jobs you’re interested in
Send your CV and covering letter to those local companies
Visit or telephone local employers to find out if they’re recruiting
Check the local newspaper for jobs and apprenticeship vacancies
Apply for as many jobs as possible
Don’t be disappointed if you sometimes don’t get a reply; there’s often a huge response to adverts
Prepare for any interviews, research the organisation, be positive, and sell yourself!
