Supporting Schools & Students
Our Becoming and Apprentice Programme for Schools, DEIS schools fully equips students with the skills to find apprenticeship opportunities, apply for the position, and progress through the selection process.
We are witnessing an increased eagerness from schools to promote apprenticeships among their students. More and more school guidance counsellors and principles are actively seeking out our programme to assist their students.
What do Students Learn?
Applying for an apprenticeship
From our experience on the ground, we are often finding knowledge gaps that cause confusion among students when it comes to ‘applying’ for an apprenticeship. This confusion is understandable because the apprenticeship recruitment process will alter depending on the different needs of employers.
Practical guidance on the various steps
Our apprenticeship preparation course clears up the confusion, so that students are very clear about the necessary steps to successfully gain employment as an apprentice. We provide an overview of fantastic initiatives, such as the Generation Apprenticeship website, however our course primarily focuses on providing practical guidance on the various steps taken by students to secure employment with an apprenticeship program provider.
In depth tuition from experts
The course provides in-depth tuition on each possible step of the apprenticeship employment process, including: researching the role, where and how to apply, CVs & application forms, aptitude / psychometric tests interviews (formal competency based & informal)
