2SFG Parents and Carers Guide to Apprenticeships

Finding an apprenticeship for your child

Use Apps Your child may also be surprised if you encourage them to use their phones, but there are lots of apps that could help with their apprenticeship search. Calendar and to-do list apps are great for helping with organisation, there are even to- do list apps with alarms that won’t switch off until you’ve completed a task! There are also apps that block you using social media or other apps for a certain amount of time, to stop you getting distracted when researching or completing application forms.

Reach Out Encourage your child to spend some time finding out which companies they are interested in that offer apprenticeships and write to them to introduce themselves, including their CV, even if there aren’t any current vacancies.
