Apprenticeship Careers

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw.

For many apprentices, the prospect of seeking impartial careers advice may not have crossed their mind. After all, they're already employed. However, there is no end to the wealth of opportunities available to us if we are open to exploring them. The University Careers, Employability and Enterprise Team is at the forefront of supporting current and future students in embracing this forward-thinking attitude through a vast array of resources. One of the resources that has been developed and tailored to meet the needs of students is the ‘FutureMe’ careers platform.

Current learners and apprentices can access this resource through ‘My Suffolk’. FutureMe has a tailored section to support the differing needs of those on an Apprenticeship Programme and, alongside our impartial Careers and Employability Advisors, can support with the following:

• Support with helping you decide what to do next
• Advice on postgraduate study
• Career development workshops and events
• Impartial one-to-one careers guidance
• Advice on writing effective CVs and applications
• Mock interviews and interview guidance
• Tips for networking, using social media and developing your personal brand
• Careers fairs and opportunities to meet employers throughout the year
• Volunteering opportunities
• Job vacancies, projects and paid internships
