At the time of recording this episode, it is National Apprenticeship Week 2022 here in the UK, and it feels like a great time to remind you that traditional university is not the only post-18 route to take.

It is the route, I took (hello Warwick University!). I loved it and wouldn't change it for the world, however there were less options in my day (yes, I said "in my day"!) and while university remains an exciting option - I don't want you to think it's your only one.

So in this very quick episode I mention apprenticeships and let you know a little more about them. This is a topic I can certainly go into greater detail about in the future however today, I am encouraging you to have a look at the options that exist and see whether they appeal. So, check out websites like the National Apprenticeship Service and more and also look up the name of your favourite organisations and apprenticeships and see if they have any. Amazon, Google, the NHS - they all offer apprenticeships so enjoy your exploration. 

Finally for now, an earlier episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast features Anna Morrison from Amazing Apprenticeships and Conor Cotton of Not Going to Uni and the hour long chat goes into some real depth. You can check out that episode here.
