National Apprenticeship week - 10th to 14th February 2025
The resources in this collection can provide both STEM teachers and careers' advisors with support to introduce pupils aged 11 to 19 to apprenticeship opportunities during the government's National Apprenticeship week.
The collection includes guidance from STEM related industries such as construction and the motor industry on how apprenticeships work and how to find out more information. In addition, there are many case studies, some of which include video clips, of individuals who have followed a variety of careers from science technician to stage engineers.
