5th -11 February is National Apprenticeship Week! We have been catching up with some colleagues who are currently on PWDS apprenticeship programmes. Lucie, who a Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician (PTPT) at UHBW spoke with us about her experience: Why did you choose to do an apprenticeship? “I chose an apprenticeship because I wanted the structure and routine of working day-to-day and still being able to gain a qualification.  I also wanted to be able to earn money while gaining an entry point into a good career”   What’s the best thing about doing an apprenticeship? “The best thing about doing an apprenticeship is being able to gain on-the-job experience and have the satisfaction of becoming better skilled in your role. I love being about to come into my workplace and still have my learning hat on as a student also”   What advice would you give someone considering an apprenticeship? “My advice to someone considering an apprenticeship would be to go for it! Consider how the qualification might benefit your future and compare this to another route you may be considering. I think apprenticeships bring the financial security some other education options may not”

“What happens when the apprenticeship is finished?” The next step after the apprenticeship depends on the employment contract. With a fixed-term apprenticeship contract, employment is automatically terminated on completion of the qualification. Most employers choose to retain their apprentices by offering them an open-ended contract from the start. This means you automatically retain them after training has been completed.

5th -11 February is National Apprenticeship Week! We have been catching up with some colleagues who are currently on PWDS apprenticeship programmes. Lauren, who a Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician (PTPT) spoke with us about her experience: Why did you choose to do a pharmacy technician apprenticeship? “I have a passion for helping and caring for others. I was eager to shift my career path and embrace new learning opportunities. The apprenticeship appealed to me as it allows me to work and study, providing a practical, hands-on approach to learning”   What’s the best thing about doing an apprenticeship? “The blend of practical experience and academic learning it offers, gaining hands-on experience while also studying and acquiring theoretical knowledge. This combination helps you understand the practical applications of your studies and equips you with the skills needed in the real world”   What advice would you give someone considering an apprenticeship? “Understand the apprenticeship course: including the balance between work and study days. Ask Questions: don’t hesitate to inquire about any aspects of the apprenticeship that you’re unsure about. The more information you have, the better equipped you’ll be to succeed. Establish a strong support network: friends, family, or mentors who can provide advice, encouragement, and understanding during your apprenticeship”
