University vs Apprenticeships - Which is best for you?

Deciding what to do when you leave school or college can be tough.

Do you go to university and get a degree or choose an apprenticeship and get to earn while you learn? Let’s explore which route could be best for you with Kaye from Umbrella Training.

Kaye went the University for her training, but she also did a BTEC (an more practical based learning course) straight after school. Now working in the apprenticeship sector, she can see the best in both options.

The important thing is, when choosing your further education or planning for your future career, that there is no wrong way, only the best option for you, your style of learning and career prospects.
