Apprenticeship route provides alternative career path for students after A-Levels

After completing A-Levels, a young professional opted for a different path from university by pursuing an apprenticeship. Initially considering degree apprenticeships only, they discovered opportunities in Level 3 or 4 apprenticeships across various fields.

"I applied for a marketing apprenticeship with Assetz Capital," the individual shared. Following the completion of their Level 3 Digital Marketing apprenticeship, they advanced to the position of Marketing Executive.

The range of apprenticeships is broad, starting from age 16 and spanning fields such as business administration to medical degrees. "Doing an apprenticeship is the best career decision I have made," they said, reflecting on their rapid career progression within just over a year.

For those interested in apprenticeships, resources like government websites and training providers offer access to available vacancies. Additionally, the article offers practical advice for new apprentices:

"Talk to your fellow apprentices—they are going through the same thing." It's essential to familiarize oneself with company culture and attend relevant webinars and learning sessions before starting a job.

"Document and screenshot everything!" This helps demonstrate capability to apprenticeship providers. The importance of flexibility is also highlighted: "It’s okay to change your mind."

Working at Assetz Capital has allowed this apprentice to explore all facets of marketing while gaining insights into finance. They recommend exploring apprenticeship options as an alternative or complement to university education.
