Live in Lancashire? Get An Apprenticeship!

Think of an apprentice and you probably think of a young person getting their hands dirty while learning a trade like plumbing or bricklaying. You\’d be right, of course, but there are also office-based apprenticeships like administration or sales, or more family oriented ones like childcare.

For more than a century now, busy towns in Lancashire like Blackburn, Blackpool and Lancaster have had a history of developing apprenticeships and are still excellent places to find an apprenticeship today.

Thousands of students have come to us at NotGoingToUni for help in making the right career choices – and those choices include an apprenticeship.

In most industries and business sectors throughout the UK, there are thousands of apprenticeships on offer. Any one of them gives you the chance of earning and learning at the same time – it\’s a mixture of classroom learning and on-the-job training, plus a regular pay cheque.

You\’ll pick up skills from the people you\’re working with, and enjoy a more relaxed study environment than you\’ve been used to before.

Once you\’ve completed your apprenticeship, you\’ll have an excellent chance of full-time work anywhere in the UK … but you might just find the first company to offer you a job is the one that\’s been sponsoring you all along.

There\’s no law that says you\’ve got to go to university to be a success in later life – and there\’s no guarantee that people like Simon Cowell, Lady Gaga and even Richard Branson would have been as successful today if they\’d gone to uni. You don\’t think you would be using an Dell computer if Michael Dell hadn\’t dropped out of university and started a computer company?
