National Apprenticeship Week
|
|
As National Apprenticeship Week begins, we've collected some of our best apprenticeship resources from the past year to help your students make informed decisions about their post-16 careers.
Students struggling to decide whether they want to pursue a degree at university or an apprenticeship? Check out our 30-minute University vs Apprenticeship session. Not sure about the difference between a degree apprenticeship, higher apprenticeship, and traditional degree? Our Degree Apprenticeship Live Events cover all the details. In case your students don't have time to watch our online content, we've also compiled a list of the top 10 questions asked about Degree Apprenticeships. Please share far and wide with students this National Apprenticeship Week.

HM Government - Data Allowances for disadvantaged students
Schools, trusts and local authorities in England can request mobile data increases for disadvantaged children and young people in years 3 to 11 who are not able to attend school due to national lockdown restrictions. If increasing mobile data is not a suitable option for some children, or if a mobile network cannot process a request, schools can also request 4G wireless routers.
