St Helens and Knowsley Community College | Essential Guide to Apprenticeships 2024

PROCESS APPLICATION Visit our Job Shop (see page 4) to search for live apprenticeship vacancies. To apply for a role, you must register your details with the National Apprenticeship Service www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship . If you are successful, you will be invited to an Assessment Centre to complete pre- enrolment activities including an English and maths assessment. This is to determine you current working level. You know what industry you want to work in, but you need to find a suitable job vacancy. After your interview with us, you may be shortlisted for an interview with the employer. The employer will decide who gets the apprenticeship, so it is important to sell yourself and tell them why you are the best person for the job! Once you have submitted an application, you will receive a phone call from us to check you are suitable for the role you have applied for. This may involve a telephone or face-to-face interview. Once your employer has completed their side of the pre-enrolment process, you will then be given a start date for your apprenticeship training. Don’t worry if you have been unsuccessful! Start the full-time course at College and make your tutor aware that you would like an apprenticeship. Keep applying and once you are successful, we can transfer you on to the apprenticeship pathway. ROUTE 1 If you are currently in year 11, you will only be enrolled onto an apprenticeship once you have received your GCSE results. However, you can still find an employer and start working with them once you finish school to gain experience in the meantime. ! 16
