4. Will I be guaranteed a job at the end of my apprenticeship?

No, unfortunately no one is guaranteed a job at the end, however government data has shown that 90% of apprentices stay in employment after their apprenticeship ends which is a huge amount!

5. How many hours will I work?

This all depends on the employer and the apprenticeship that you choose to do.

6. Do I have to be aged between 16-24 to do an apprenticeship?

No, commonly apprentices are between this age group as apprenticeships are seen as an alternative to university. However there is no upper age limited for apprenticeships. In fact it is becoming common practise now for employers to train up existing members of staff through the apprenticeship route to help further their career development.
