I had a look at these and most of the links seem to be directed at males, how about females?

Amieowen,
You can do apprenticeships in a staggering number of disciplines that offer varied jobs. There are too many too list however below are a few links that will direct you to a website to search apprenticeships:
1. The government's own apprenticeship search portal - https://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship
2. GetMyFirstJob - https://www.getmyfirstjob.co.uk/
3. Don't forget to search for apprenticeships of the inidividual websites of employers, they list many vacancies that don't alwayss appear on job boards like Indeed, Total jobs, Reed, Monster etc.

Hi everyone!
I can see that you are looking into University alternative career options. I was in the same boat 2 years ago when deciding what to do after sixth form as I wanted to further my studies but didn’t want the huge amount of uni debt that came with it.
I came across QA apprenticeships through a friend, and knew it was the right option for me. An apprenticeship is a great way to get a job, experience and qualifications (up to a degree) all debt free.
After one year, I have graduated with my L3 digital marketing apprenticeship, have professional work experience working on a variety of projects with senior managers and now have a full-time job!
If you are interested, It would be worth looking into some of the apprenticeship programmesQA offer.
As an apprentice grad, I am happy to help answer any questions you may have about apprenticeships to help you make the right career choice so, drop us a message on our profile if you'd like to have a chat or reply to our message on this thread

What do u need to do to get a degree apprenticeship- apparently it's nearly impossible and you will need to be favourable in the eyes of the employer.

Hi
I would like to do a chemical engineering apprenticeship, but where is the best place to look? I have tried contacting employers but I get a generic reply stating to look at that section of their website. I want to actually have a conversation! Is anyone able to help me please?

Hi,
Have you tried searching on the .GOV.UK website, I'll leave the link below. The search page holds thousands of vacancies. By using key words, (e.g. Chemical engineering) your location and willingness to travel (e.g10-20miles) it will bring up live vacancies available within that area and relating to your key words
Good luck!

I'm on a software engineering apprenteship so they do exist. I guess it depends what STEM subject or role you're interested in.

Hi guys,
Anyone at the Career unlocked stage for the PWC school leaver scheme in assurance, if so what's it like and how is the numerical and abstract reasoning. I have already practiced the tests on the website-is it like that or harder?
Thanks and good luck for those applying
