SUPPORT FOR APPRENTICES

Tips for Getting a Traineeship or Apprenticeship

1. Ask for a work placement while still at school. Schools will cover your insurance whilst on WPL. 
2. Demonstrate what a great employee you are.
3. Get information from a Jobs and Skills Centre on what subsidies employers can get.
4. Tell the potential employer what subsidies they can get and ask if they will take you on.
5. If they won’t take you on, ask if they know anyone else who may be in a position to help you/take you on.
