1
🔎

Decide What You Want to Do

Before you search, it helps to have a rough idea of the industry or type of work you're interested in. You don't need to be 100% sure — but having a starting point makes everything easier.

💡 Tips
  • Think about subjects you enjoyed in school
  • Consider what hobbies or skills you already have
  • Look at what industries are hiring near you
  • Don't stress — you can always explore more than one area

🌐

Find Apprenticeship Vacancies

There are thousands of apprenticeship listings available — knowing where to look is half the battle. These are the best official platforms to use in the UK.

🔗 Where to Search
  • Find an Apprenticeship — gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship
  • Not Going to Uni — notgoingtouni.co.uk
  • Indeed & LinkedIn — search "apprenticeship + [your area]"
  • Company websites directly — many post their own vacancies
  • Your school/college careers advisor

📝

Create a Brilliant CV

Your CV is your first impression. Even if you've never worked before, you have more to offer than you think — it's about showing your potential and enthusiasm.

💡 CV Tips
  • Keep it to 1 page — clear and easy to read
  • Include school/college, any volunteering, hobbies & skills
  • Tailor it to each role you apply for
  • Check spelling and grammar carefully
  • Use a clean, professional format — no fancy colours

✉️

Write a Strong Cover Letter / Personal Statement

Many apprenticeship applications ask for a short personal statement. This is your chance to speak directly to the employer and explain why YOU are the right person for the role.

💡 What to Include
  • Why you want THIS specific apprenticeship
  • What skills/qualities you bring to the table
  • A brief mention of your background (school, any work experience)
  • Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn
5
📬

Submit Your Application

Apply through the employer's website or via Gov.uk. Apply to multiple roles — don't put all your eggs in one basket. Treat each application individually and tailor it where possible.

💡 Application Tips
  • Read the job description carefully before applying
  • Answer all questions fully — don't leave blanks
  • Apply early — popular roles close quickly
  • Keep a record of what you've applied to
6
🧪

Complete Any Assessments or Tests

Some employers will ask you to complete an online test as part of the process — often literacy, numeracy, or situational judgement questions. Don't panic — they're designed to be fair to all candidates.

💡 How to Prepare
  • Practise basic maths and English on BBC Bitesize or Khan Academy
  • Do example tests online before your actual one
  • Read instructions carefully and don't rush

🎤

Ace the Interview

You've been invited to interview — that's already a massive achievement. Now it's time to show the employer who you are. Be yourself, be prepared, and be enthusiastic.

💡 Interview Tips
  • Research the company beforehand
  • Prepare answers to "Tell me about yourself" and "Why this role?"
  • Dress smartly and arrive early (or log on early for virtual)
  • Ask a question at the end — shows you're engaged
  • Be honest — they're hiring YOU, not a perfect robot
