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.

More on Apprenticeships


  • To raise awareness of the diverse range of Apprenticeships out there, the Daily Telegraph newspaper has launched an Apprenticeship app, giving candidates the opportunity to browse all Apprenticeships available in England. Results can be filtered by location and occupation. The App is available for free on iPhone and Android here.
  • The www.ratemyapprenticeship.co.uk does just what it says.  It has been reviewed by Dan Gendle,  an Employer Development Coordinator at Hertfordshire Youth Connexions, who commented: 'I think this is a useful website for students thinking about Apprenticeships. There is useful information about top employers who offer schemes, but also information from apprentices about how they found the scheme and internships, etc.'
  • A one page Parents' Guide to Apprenticeships has been published by the Government and can be downloaded here.
  • The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) has produced an "infographic" to explain Higher Apprenticeships. You can view it here.
