Parents' Guide to Apprenticeships
This Parents’ Guide to Apprenticeships explains how apprenticeships offer young people a direct, practical route into employment by combining paid work with structured training that leads to nationally recognised qualifications. It outlines what an apprenticeship involves, typical durations, expectations for college attendance, assessment methods, costs, wage information, and progression opportunities. It also provides advice on what to do if a learner has not yet secured an employer and highlights the wide range of apprenticeship areas available through Shrewsbury College.
