How do you write a winning apprenticeship application?
To apply for an apprenticeship, you’ll need a CV. Applying for an apprenticeship is like applying for a full-time job, you’re not just a learner but a potential employee. Even if you don’t have much professional experience to talk about yet, it’s important to create a CV that helps your employer find out about your education, transferrable skills from work or school, why you are interested in your chosen field, and why you want to do an apprenticeship.
CV and interview tips
Starting your journey towards an apprenticeship is an exciting step in your career. However, crafting a standout CV is important in making a strong first impression. A CV is more than a list of qualifications and previous experiences, it’s an opportunity to show potential employers why you are a perfect fit for their team. Your CV should clearly communicate the value you can bring, your enthusiasm and your motivation.
We have created a guide for you on how to craft a standout CV and provide tips on how to feel more confident in your interview. Read our CV guide here or alternatively, download our CV template to set yourself up for success in securing your apprenticeship.
When do apprenticeship applications open?
Unlike other educational courses that start in September, most of our apprenticeships are roll-on-roll-off depending on the needs of the employer. This means start dates are often flexible with multiple enrolments throughout the year.
