S2E8: Convincing your parents that an apprenticeship is the route for you

The Apprentice Talks team are reunited for this episode to discuss how their parents reacted to them starting their apprenticeships. We understand that many things influence the choices you make, especially when you're going through education. Whilst many parents are extremely supportive whatever route you may choose, some may not quite understand how life-changing an apprenticeship can be. Things have changed so much over the years and the apprenticeships that are now on offer are probably very different from the ones your parents know of. Due to this, some parents still think university is the only route to success. We're here to help you show them that apprenticeships are just as credible and offer you an alternative pathway to success. Why not call your parent over and take a listen to this episode together!

S2 E7: Why employers value apprentices

Employers play a fundamental role within apprenticeships, so it was vital that they featured on at least one episode of Apprentice Talks. We wanted to understand why employers value apprentices so much and why apprentices are key to closing the skills gap. On this episode we're joined by Jenny Taylor, UK Foundation Manager at IBM, and Daniell Morrisey, Senior Editorial Early Careers Schemes Manager at the BBC. Both Jenny and Daniell make it clear that apprentices are an essential part of their organisations and help them future proof their business, as well as allowing the organisation to reach younger audiences.

This week we hear from Maia, a Level 7 Solicitor Apprentice working at DAC Beachcroft, and Emma, a Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprentice, who works as a Software Engineer at Thales. We discuss some of the exciting things they get up to within their roles and give you some tips and insights into how to break into similar roles.

S2 E4: Where in the world can an apprenticeship take you?

Most apprentices will tell you that taking an apprenticeship is a great opportunity, but many apprentices will tell you it's the opportunities that come from taking an apprenticeship that can really change your life. This week we talk to two apprentices who have been lucky enough to travel internationally through their apprenticeships. Emily, a Level 6 International Rotational Degree Apprentice at Pearson College London works as a Student Recruitment Assistant. Emily has had the opportunity to work in the Philippines as part of her apprenticeship and would have had another international placement this year too had it have been safe to travel. Akua, a Level 4 Engineer Apprentice and Software Engineer at Lyst, was a Grace Hopper competition winner, which resulted in her attending the Grace Hopper Conference which brings together leading women entrepreneurs at the world’s largest gathering of women technologists. The conference was held in Florida, and whilst in the USA, Akua was lucky enough to visit NASA.

S2 E2: Gaining confidence as an apprentice

This weeks episode focuses on confidence as an apprentice. For most, the idea of joining a business is both exciting and daunting at the same time. Us apprentices can probably all remember our first day, our first meeting, our first mistake and most importantly building up the courage to point out our colleagues mistakes. It's never easy being one of the youngest members of a team, but that's mainly just because we lack confidence. This quickly changes though! One apprentice who can agree, is William Laven, a graduate level 3 Business and Admin Apprentice, now Operations Executive at Publics Media. William suffers from dyslexia and a stammer, which he says he used to really struggle with, particularly at school but also in job interviews. However, William has not let that hold him back and throughout his apprenticeship has gained the confidence he needs to be extremely successful, winning awards and even publicly speaking about apprenticeships and his stammer. William has a truly inspirational story, so click the play button and take a listen!
