Have you seen the new Amazing Apprenticeships homepage?
As the work of Amazing Apprenticeships continues to expand, we have re-designed our homepage to make it easier for you to find relevant information, support and resources.

 

Please find below the monthly Parents and Careers packs available to download.

Are you ready to support your child with their next big decision?

How much do you know about apprenticeships, traineeships, T Levels, degree apprenticeships, University and gap year options?

Is your child looking to you for help and guidance when it comes to their career options?

Amazing Apprenticeships and NGTU have teamed up to arm parents with knowledge, keep them informed and make sure they are best placed to help their child with their next steps.
 
How? We are bringing together parents who will share their own experiences, challenges and perspectives of supporting their child with their career aspirations, experts to offer advice on the newest career opportunities and the steps needed to get to them and role models that will give the inside scoop on what taking these steps is really like.
 
The most important part? It’s all about the parent perspective. What parents need, what parents are (or will be) experiencing and what parents need to know to best support their child. 

Join Amazing Apprenticeships for their podcast.
