Understanding Apprenticeships: Pathways to Work
An introduction for students and families exploring post-school options, covering what apprenticeships are, how they work, and why they can be a strong alternative to university. Presented by host Rob Malicki with input from Apprenticeships Are Us, an apprenticeship facilitating organisation.
Key takeaways
- Apprenticeships are a legitimate and valuable post-school pathway for students who do not want to pursue a university degree.
- Apprenticeship facilitating organisations like Apprenticeships Are Us help connect students with employers and support them through the process.
- Having knowledge of multiple post-school pathways, including apprenticeships, is useful for all students regardless of their final choice.

Why apprenticeships matter as a post-school option
In today's session we are looking at understanding apprenticeships. This is such an incredible post-school option, because we know university isn't for everyone, and having some knowledge of these different pathways is really useful for just about everyone.
In this session I'm going to be talking about apprenticeships with Apprenticeships Are Us. They're an apprenticeship facilitating organisation. We've got a video and we're also going to be having a chat with one of their staff members. So without further ado, let's jump in and learn more about what apprenticeships are all about.
