Changed of career path

I initially wanted to pursue a career in healthcare, however I am now interested in doing apprenticeships around accountancy. My grades aren't the greatest, but I am willing to build it up from lower level apprenticeships. What should my first step be considering I do not have any work experience?

I would recommend getting a few work experience placements which you can add to your application. Here's a list of some work experience opportunities which are available right now, including in accounting - https://sumptuous-book-021.notion.site/Best-work-experience-for-DEGREE-APPRENTICESHIP-APPLICATIONS-928aea8fa48441df9755d76afef8e470.

Hope that helps and good luck with your applications.
