Parents' guide to apprenticeships - Supporting your child

There is a lot to think about when it comes to school leaver options and what is best for your child. There is a mis-understanding around the options for school leavers due to young people staying in education or training until they are aged 18 years old. As a result, the importance of either continuing to sixth form or college is talked about a lot with apprenticeships referred to as a secondary option for those who did not receive the grades they had hoped for. This is changing. Apprenticeships offer opportunities to earn and learn and provide businesses with their future workforce. If your son/daughter tends to learn better in a practical environment rather than in the classroom, an apprenticeship could be perfect for them. PM Training learners and apprentices receive ‘Ofsted Grade 2’ training and development with outstanding additional support, financial help and a growth network that leads to 90% of apprentices having employment at the end of their apprenticeship.
