For job recruiters, having relevant, real, job-related work experience and knowledge is more import than degrees.
You can demonstrate your competency and easily show to them that you have the skills needed to be put straight into the field. Degrees are useful, however, do not offer the same level of support, training or benefits as apprenticeships do when it comes to working in your dream sector.
You can also 100% gain degree-level qualifications through apprenticeships, too!
With an apprenticeship, you also get to experience a wide range of additional benefits, including:
- A fun, engaging and different route to University
- Specific development of skills you want
- You’ll earn a wage while also studying your qualification
- Independence in the working world giving you loads of experience
- Nothing to pay back at the end of your course – Unlike Uni!
- Paid holidays
- Build a network around you
- Friendly, regular support from colleagues and Aspiration Training
- Treated like a full-time employee with all of their benefits too
- Shopping discounts, cinema coupons, free burgers etc. (FREE NUS Extra Apprentice Card)
There are so many other benefits, the list is endless.
As apprenticeships are taking the UK by storm, more and more young people are realising that studying for years at University isn’t enough to fully succeed in the world of work.
Unlike University which lacks the experience aspects of work, apprenticeships have the upper hand with an amazing mix of learning and experience since you’ll get to jump straight into what you love doing with dedicated one-to-one support from your vocational trainer.
Apprenticeships can still be challenging and difficult at times – but definitely worth it, in the end, to be qualified in your field!

4.) Doing extra
Doing extra to help out those around you can help everyone, including you! It will encourage others to help you when you may need it and doing extra shows great commitments and a desire to strive for success.
5.) Passion
Being passionate about what you do if great. If you love what you do at work, it never really seems like work!
