Have you tried looking on https://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship - they have many apprenticeships at many different levels all over the country.

What are your GCSE's? Some apprenticeships require that you have A*-C in English and Maths.

Do you have a careers advisor at your school? They may be able to suggest some avenues you could explore.

Yeah if you tell me your gcses i could help you out.
there is many other apprenticeship available like the company you are hoping to work for in the future might have traineeships, apprenticeship or short work experience/ placements.

Have you started applying for apprenticeships and if so, what feedback are you getting?

What are you interested in doing? If you are not sure, have a research into possible careers to get more information, or set up a meeting with a careers advisor if you have access to one.

Have you thought about retaking maths and english? Could you ask at your school or have you thought about asking at your local job centre or college what your options are? They may be able to help

What sort of topics are you interested in career-wise? This may help you to decide what apprenticeship to go for

Bro I know I want to go for IT apprenticeship level 2 but might be my qualifications Ain't good to go for that. I got 3 in Maths n English and level 1 IT completed qualification.😭😭😭😭
If you really want to go down that route and know precisely what you want to do, would you be better off retaking English and Maths to give yourself more options?

Reading College offers GCSE courses in English and Maths - it states that you can do each course for free if you are aged 16-18 or you don't have Grade C:
