We at Form the Future know how difficult and challenging it can be to help your teenage child/ren when thinking about and planning their next steps in education or employment. We have designed a series of free virtual webinars to help parents and guardians support their children to make informed career and educational decisions and choose the best pathway for them.   

The webinars provide information and practical tools as well as the opportunity to ask questions at the end with help from a qualified careers guidance professional.  

Apprenticeships – what are they, are they a good option for your child and how to secure one?

Apprenticeships have been a common way of training for a job in the UK for a number of years but are still often little understood.  Finding out about apprenticeship opportunities is usually more complex than finding out about college and university courses.  This webinar will aim to clarify: 

what an apprenticeship is and what it’s like to be an apprentice
the kinds of job you can start through an apprenticeship
how much apprentices get paid
how do apprenticeships differ from other ways of training
how to find apprenticeship vacancies

Important information 

This is the fourth webinar in a series of seven free webinars, designed to support parents as they help their young people make decisions about their future pathway. Each event in the series will take place once between Sept 2022 and March 2023 and while you don't have to join every webinar, we highly recommend it. The webinars will be delivered virtually via Zoom.
