This blog is designed to keep you up-to-date with Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) available locally, nationally and through the school. I’ll be posting information about employment and training opportunities available locally as well as details of open days and useful websites. The world of education, employment and training opportunities is changing rapidly so keep checking in for the latest information.

There's more to Apprenticeships than spanners and hair-straighteners!

Most people are waking up to the "earn as you learn" opportunities available through Apprenticeships but many still think they're aimed just at Hair & Beauty or Construction-based careers.  Well, they're wrong!  For example the BBC is offering 45 local Apprenticeships in its radio stations across the UK as part of Director-General Tony Hall's pledge to open up the BBC to people from a wide range of backgrounds. Applications opened this month and successful candidates will start their jobs in September, working as Apprentice Broadcast Assistants (England, Channel Islands) and Apprentice Content Assistants (Wales, Scotland and N Ireland).  For more information, click here.  

What's more, world-wide you can find Apprenticeships in fields such as Tasting Dog Food, Trimming Cow Hooves, Milking Snakes and being a Pet Detective! [Source: TCHC Training].  For more local Apprenticeship opportunities, visit: www.apprenticeships.org.uk
