Regardless of your exam results, there are a wide range of career paths to consider. It can be daunting thinking about your options beyond college/university, but an Apprenticeship could be the right choice for you. Read on to hear from one of our Apprentices and find out!

Apprenticeships are work-based learning programmes that enable聽you to learn on the job, achieve nationally-recognised qualifications, develop your skills, earn a wage and build a rewarding career.

Bryony is a Healthcare Support worker in the Accident and Emergency department for Cwm Taf University Health Board. She recently completed her Level 2 Clinical Healthcare Support Apprenticeship with 91热爆 and is now well on her way to achieving her dream of becoming a nurse.

Bryony shares her top three reasons why she chose to live, learn and earn with an Apprenticeship:

1. Tailored Programmes

鈥淲hilst there were mandatory units for the Clinical Healthcare聽Support qualification, there were also optional units so I was able to choose units best suited for my role and the needs of my department. For example, I learnt how to do ECGs correctly and it鈥檚 given me a better understanding of what I鈥檓 doing in my current job role.鈥

2. Earn and Learn

鈥淭he best thing about Apprenticeships is that you鈥檙e able to learn and earn. I鈥檓 much better learning hands-on than in the classroom so that suited me well. My Apprenticeship has enabled me to gain more confidence and understanding of the knowledge needed within my role, and it鈥檚 fully funded too, which is a great bonus.鈥

3. Career progression

鈥淣ow that I鈥檝e completed my Apprenticeship I鈥檓 studying towards a Foundation Degree in Community Health and Wellbeing. I鈥檝e also been accepted onto a degree in Adult Nursing so once I鈥檝e completed that degree I鈥檓 looking to work in Accident and Emergency. My Apprenticeship has really helped me get to where I am now.鈥
