Are you a software house with less than 15 staff? This ones for you ⬇ I've found when speaking with employers that the common stumbling block when it comes to supporting a software developer apprentice is that they don't have the bandwidth to support them, does this sound like you? At Baltic Apprenticeships we have partnered with a number of SMEs to support their software team, who at first, were hesitant to explore the apprenticeship route, but now they have an apprentice who is a few months into their programme, they wouldn't look back! Feedback we get: 🚀 'Frequently I've thrown them in the deep end, and they are yet to drown.' 🚀 'Keen to learn, has a great attitude and is very much a positive team player.' 🚀 'A very capable and reliable employee.' I'd love to speak with any SMEs who might be unsure about this route and answer questions you may have about apprenticeships/processes/funding available. You can email me at stacey.skippen@balticapprenticeships.com or drop me a call on 01325 731058 😊 #apprenticeships #SME #hiring

One of the most impactful ways to engage at-risk students and help them stay on track for graduation is through work-based learning opportunities such as pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships, job shadows, and internships. Work-based learning bridges the gap between classroom instruction and real-world application. These opportunities are especially valuable for underserved students, offering them: 🔑 Practical, hands-on skills that make them workforce-ready 💼 Mentorship and career exposure that shape their future paths 🤝 Opportunities to build professional networks and strengthen community connections 🌍 A sense of purpose and direction in their education journey By building strong partnerships with businesses and industries, we can create meaningful opportunities that not only increase student engagement and support graduation, but also reduce dropout rates and enhance long-term success. Let’s work together to make work-based learning a fundamental part of every high school journey, ensuring that students graduate with the skills, knowledge, and connections they need to thrive in the workforce. #WorkBasedLearning #CareerPathways #Apprenticeships #Internships #JobShadows #DropoutPrevention #AtRiskStudents #PostsecondaryTransition #WorkforceDevelopment #StudentSuccess #GraduationPathways #InclusiveEducation

Which path should I choose: degree or apprenticeship? Whilst acknowledging that work experience is irreplaceable, doing a degree will give you knowledge that is at the cutting edge of your chosen subject. And you can take into the workplace and use it to add value. Taking on that level of debt can be daunting for some, but once you have that piece of paper indicating your education, no one can take it away from you. AND you can use it to open doors for you, for the rest of your life. To help you make your decision, ask yourself: What are my goals? What kind of learning have I previously enjoyed and done well at? Do I want to keep my options open or am I ready to become an expert in one particular area? #HigherEducation #Apprenticeships #CareerChoices #Careerdecisions #Apprenticeshipvsdegree
