Applying For Apprenticeships: Free Lesson Resources For Teachers #NAW2024

Help your students explore apprenticeships during #NAW2024 with these free downloadable resources…

National Apprenticeship Week 2024 is fast approaching! We’ve created these resources to help you and your students explore apprenticeships during the week (5th 11th Feb 2024) – they’re free to download.

Presentation slides

These downloadable presentation slides are designed to help your students:

  • Understand what an apprenticeship is
  • Understand where to look for apprenticeship opportunities
  • Understand how to complete an application for an apprenticeship

This resource includes solo and group activities, information about apprenticeships and useful links you and your students can use to find out more.

Lesson plan

The accompanying lesson plan will help you explore how you to use the presentation slides with your students.

We’ve covered the resources you’ll need, curriculum links information, guidance on each activity, including an extension task, and a printable activity resource at the end of the lesson plan. You’ll also find links to further resources, and ways to share your#NAW2024 activities.

As apprenticeships and requirements can differ across UK countries, content can be amended by educators to include information about applying for apprenticeships in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales.
