An apprenticeship route is a great way for people to enter a profession while getting a qualification in the process. There are a number of ways to start an apprenticeship programme and as it is National Apprenticeship Week we are sharing some top tips. Read on to discover how to become an apprentice and start your learner journey with LMP Education.
Pick your career path
Before starting your apprenticeship journey, you need to consider what industry or profession you want to enter and the requirements for that sector. Think of what interests you, what you would like your future to look like and what is your end goal. You can use this career pathways tool to discover new career options and learn more about different jobs.
Apply through a training provider
A great way to find an apprenticeship is by first finding the course and training provider you want to use for your programme. Many training providers help apprentices find their placement when they apply. LMP Education can help you in your apprenticeship when you apply for a course.

Apply through an employer
For some, being focused on a particular employer can be a good way to find the right apprenticeship for you. Research employers in your chosen sector and keep an eye on their website and social media platforms (particularly LinkedIn) to see if they advertise apprenticeship opportunities.
Search job boards
Apprenticeships are like any other job (only you get to gain a qualification though it) and so you will see them advertised on a range of job boards. Website like Indeed, Glassdoor, and even LinkedIn are a great place to find apprenticeship opportunities that are actively hiring.
