There are many good reasons to take an apprenticeship after finishing GCSEs or A Levels. Or even later on in your life – there is no age limit on when you can start an apprenticeship!
As the leading furniture industry training provider in the East Midlands, we ensure that our apprentices complete their course not only to pass; but to gain the best skills they need for their chosen career field, the experience they picked up during their job, and the trials they faced that made them stronger. We believe that these are all things an ideal apprentice will gain out of their apprenticeship. Here are 5 reasons why an apprenticeship is the right choice.
Earn while you learn
You don’t need to worry about student loans and debts like most young people, an apprenticeship allows you to be paid while studying your course at the same time. Just with this first reason, I wouldn’t see why you wouldn’t like to apply…
Get a hands-on experience
Because you will be working alongside employers for a specific career, your apprenticeship is tailored specifically to your job. This means that everything you learn in your course can be applied later on, if not straight away, to your job. For someone who learns more from putting things into action, an apprenticeship is perfect.
Learn at a pace that suits you
Unlike university or college where you have to keep up with deadlines and exams, your tutor provides the best one-to-one support that you may need to complete your coursework at your own pace, whichever time and place suits you.
Choose from a wide range of apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are becoming much more popular in every industry. At WEBS, not only do we have courses for furniture manufacturing and upholstery apprenticeships, but we also have kitchen and bathroom fitting as well as floor laying apprenticeships.

Get ahead of others
One of the big issues for university graduates is that they lack the work experience for their career which many employers are looking for. This makes it hard to transfer the skills they learned at uni to real-life jobs. With an apprenticeship, you never have to worry about this; even if you decide to change jobs, you will still have that job experience for your future career path.
These are just some of the reasons why an apprenticeship is the right career choice. Don’t feel shy to contact us today if you’re interested in any of our apprenticeships.
