How to find a Job
You will need to find an employer before you start your apprenticeship course.
Firstly, research companies in your area of interest. We can offer guidance and make suggestions, as it isn’t always obvious which businesses are out there.
Get started with our Job Pack
To find a job there are two essential things you will need to prepare:
- A CV
- A Covering Letter
A brilliant CV and Covering Letter will make you stand out from other applicants and give you a better chance of being successful. To help you with this we have created some handy templates which you can download.


Ready to apply?
Once you are ready to apply for vacancies we suggest you:
- Search our website for current job vacancies
- Apply for Apprenticeship job vacancies advertised by employers on their website
- Use other job sites such as Linkedin, Indeed or the Government’s National Apprenticeship Service site
- Email employers directly who you would like to work for, with your CV and Covering Letter
- Some industries prefer prospective apprentices to visit them in person and to undertake work experience
