My Next Step This leaflet is to assist you to look at a wide range of options to help you plan your next step. So, what happens next? Whatever you decide, it is essential to research your options thoroughly whether that leads you into:• • • • • • • • Full time or part time employment Self-employment Working abroad Voluntary work Taking a Gap Year Education Apprenticeships Training Before making any career decisions it would be wise to consider things such as: • • • • • Skills, abilities and attitude Qualifications and achievements Interests Personal qualities Personal circumstances and health Some of these will be more important to you than others; some you can change and others you can’t. Remember, your interests, skills and ambitions may change as fast as the world around you. From time to time, you need to take stock of what you know about yourself and look at just how much you have changed as a person. Although you may not find the perfect job, one where you only do things you like and don’t have to do anything you dislike, there are jobs which will really suit you. To find these, you need to keep an open mind and you need to ‘know yourself’. Think about what motivates you. What are your priorities: job satisfaction, money, terms and conditions, family, status? How will these affect your career choice? Useful contacts and numbers: National Careers Service The National Careers Service can help you with careers decisions and planning.

If you require further information or would like to discuss your training needs, please contact: Employer Engagement Team on 023 9279 4661 or email [email protected]. National Apprenticeship Service The Benefits Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to work for a real employer, earn a real salary and gain a real qualification whilst gaining valuable workplace skills and experience. Anyone living in England, over 16 years old and not in full-time education can apply to be an apprentice. Earn while you learn All apprentices must receive the appropriate national minimum wage. Apprenticeship National Minimum Wage rate does not apply to Higher Apprenticeships. A real job All apprentices should work for at least 30 hours a week, apart from in exceptional circumstances. Over 150,000 employers are offering Apprenticeships in more than 200,000 locations. Apprenticeships are available at Intermediate, Advanced and Higher (degree) level, covering more than 170 industries and 1500 job roles, from advertising to youth work via environmental engineering and nuclear decommissioning. A real qualification Quality is key to Apprenticeships. All Apprenticeships must be at least 12 months long and lead to a national qualification that is respected by employers around the world. A real future After finishing, the majority of apprentices (85%) will stay in employment, with two-thirds (64%) staying with the same employer. A third (32%) of all former apprentices had received a promotion within 12 months of finishing, and of those in work, three quarters (75%) reported taking on more responsibility in their job. Employers think that qualified apprentices are 15% more employable than those with other qualifications. Higher Apprenticeships Apprentices’ opportunities for career progression are increasing with the expansion of Higher Apprenticeships. Equivalent to degrees, more of these specialised and highly skilled Apprenticeships are being offered each year, giving you the chance to continue your professional development and fully realise your potential. Applying has never been easier, just visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk and you will be one step closer to starting your journey to become an apprentice.
