Want to secure a Degree Apprenticeship? 🚀⭐️ Application season for degree apprenticeships is now underway, and this time last year, I was sat behind my desk feeling the pressure of balancing 20+ applications with my sixth form studies. Having recently started my apprenticeship at KPMG UK, many aspiring apprentices in various industries have reached out asking for tips to succeed during this stressful period. 🤔 This being said, I've decided to share 3 important things that I've learnt along the way, which I strongly believe will give you the best possible chance to progress with applications - and ultimately land that offer: ✅ Get in there early! Degree apprenticeships have become more and more competitive every year, with an acceptance rate of less than 5% in 2024. Applying as soon as firms release new opportunities will give your application a much higher chance of being seen first, thus progressing faster. ✅ Research the company and role well! Each firm will have a distinct set of values - how do they resonate with you personally? Many companies also post on Linkedin, a way to gain valuable insights into the role you've applied to that you may not find on their career website. Mention these in applications/video interviews to set yourself apart from other candidates! ✅ Lastly, having work experience/attending insight events in the field you are applying to can help you to gain transferable skills, boost your CV, and help you stand out as someone with a genuine interest in the role. However, it is not essential - many transferable skills can also be gained through academics, volunteering or hobbies, all which companies find valuable as an apprentice. (It also gives you something to talk about aside from grades!👀) To anybody feeling stuck, or unsure of where to start with applications, don't hesistate to reach out. The process is not an easy one, but you are definitely not alone! 🥊 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" - Jeremiah 29:11 #Degreeapprenticeship #applicationseason #apprenticeshiptips
