You might have been faced with the experience of applying for several jobs and getting nothing back. Don’t be surprised! According to a recent survey, 36% of jobs advertised online are complete ghost vacancies. This can be extremely upsetting to those affected as its completely out of their control. The time wasted, energy consumed in completing application and in some cases unfortunate financial implications are just some examples of the effects. It can take a toll on people and make the process of hiring unnecessarily stressful.

Helping your teenager decide between an apprenticeship or university can be a challenging decision. Apprenticeships offer hands-on experience from day one, allowing students to earn a salary while learning practical skills. They cover a wide range of industries and are government-funded, meaning no debt. However, some career paths, like law or medicine, require a university degree.
University, on the other hand, offers a more academic environment with a broader range of courses and the opportunity for independent living. While it provides access to certain professions, it comes with tuition fees and living expenses, and there’s no salary during studies. Each route offers valuable experiences, and the choice depends on your teenager’s career goals.
When choosing between an apprenticeship and university, it’s important to weigh the differences. Apprenticeships offer hands-on learning, immediate job experience, and a salary, with no student debt. They typically take less time than a degree but may not be suitable for careers like medicine or law, and salaries can be lower than those of university graduates.
University provides a more comprehensive academic experience, with a broader range of courses and the chance to develop life skills through independent living. However, it comes with tuition fees and living costs, and degrees often require longer commitment. The decision depends on your career goals.
So, you have started your career search? Congratulations! This is an exciting time as you’ll be learning about yourself and be thinking of where you see yourself in the future. Some of you may already know what you want to do. You may look up to someone in your family and wish to follow in their footsteps or believe that following a financially rewarding job is the way to go about it. Consider this though, would you buy a piece of clothing solely because this looks good on someone else? Or buy a house in an area just because someone tells you that it will bring profit? Probably not. You would want to assess and gather some of your own information and thoughts on these decisions. Choosing a career path should be approached in the same way, a process where multiple components are assessed to ensure you make the correct decision for you.
We’ve all been there! Not knowing what to look for or where to find all the answers we need in the journey to choosing a career. Truth be told there isn’t one point where we can get all our information. It is a process that requires time with many places to research and people to speak to before deciding. Luckily for you we have put together a list of the many ways in which you can get information about your career choice.
People will spend hours writing up their CV’s, click send and hear nothing. Recruiters may receive dozens of applications for a role, so how do you ensure yours stands out from the rest?
First impressions count. Unfortunately, a recruiter or hiring manager may not read the whole CV, so it’s important that you include the important information that separates you from everyone else at the top of your CV.
This document outlines the essential next steps to ensure a smooth onboarding process for both you and your apprentice. It details the actions required to meet all legal requirements before the programme begins and ensures that we work closely with you to address specific needs. Our goal is to make this process stress-free, and our dedicated team will be in touch soon to guide you through each stage. If you have any questions, we’re always here to help.
