Into Apprenticeships: A guide for disabled people from Disability Rights UK

Download the Into Apprenticeships resource from Disability Rights UK to explore apprenticeships and the support you could get as a disabled person.

Into Apprenticeships is a guide for disabled people, parents and key advisors about applying for apprenticeships in England.

It deals with common questions such as:

  • How to find an apprenticeship
  • Whether the training will be accessible
  • When to mention your disability
  • What your rights are
  • What support is available in the workplace.

There are several stories written by disabled apprentices about their own experiences and the challenges they have faced too. They work for organisations such as Barclays, Volkswagen, Channel 4 and IBM.

As well as taking advantage of the support on offer, the apprentices talk about the importance of their own creativity, perseverance, and motivation.
