There are so many things to consider, just like choosing between an apprenticeship or a university degree. The article below will walk you through the pros and cons of each option.
Give it a read to find out how modern apprenticeships have changed in the last five years, and discover which pathway is the best fit with your career aspirations.
Degree Apprenticeships
As a post A level student, you also might want to consider applying for either a higher apprenticeship or a degree apprenticeship.
