Really? There's no apprenticeships in America? Thought it was a international thing to be honest

I don't think there is. We have hands on technical "schools" which is college, but that's all I know of.

im in year 10 but im really hoping to get an Apprenticeship at Jaguar Land Rover, but obviously it hard to get an apprenticeship in this day and age,oh and good luck bro.

if u get an apprenticeship you will be put through college anyway more than likely.

Yeah Yeah, I know. For the first year of Jaguar Landrover you work in a college for most of your first year

You have 2 routes

A-levels/BTEC courses - The more traditional roots of education. If you can grab 3-4 a-levels at grade C or above, it will be a piece of cake to go to university or even start an apprenticeship at a higher level

Apprenticeship - Practical and paid, basically you get qualifications and work whilst being paid. Eventually you land a job at the end of the training and carry on working there, if you choose to leave, you'll have gained a qualification and have experience of work.

My opinion is a-levels/btec because more people prefer them when it comes to choosing places. Also you get very low pay on an apprenticeship, getting a part time job and studying full time is much better. But in all honestly it's up to you and some people learn better practically than being sat at a desk.

It's not always low pay. Jaguar Landrover pay 210 GBP a week That's pretty good for an apprenticeship

Aye but it's not all about money

Until you're 18, parents usually help you with financial situations or just grab a part time job

People can disagree with me here :

People with a-levels/btecs will always be prioritised over apprenticeship
My father is a professor so he has to accept or decline students and he says any student with a levels or btecs are higher prioritized.

You'll also be paying NI tax eventually

And worst off once you turn 18, they'll try and be cheeky and keep you on an under 18's pay

Im a apprentice Diesel mechanic, its a good career that pays well.

I am currently going to University right now actually. Im getting a degree in film.
