Are you a Parent helping your Teenager to find work? Then we can help you with the process.
We are more than aware that not all young people aged 16 and over want to continue learning and go on to higher and further education. For them a traineeship, an apprenticeship, or a job might be the best option. However, the majority of the information out there is geared heavily towards teenagers continuing in education for as long as possible.
We wish that more employers would consider
introducing traineeship and apprenticeship schemes. There is Government
assistance for those firms willing to offer places. Our own data and research
shows that there are thousands of teenagers aged 16-17 who would prefer to work
as an apprentice, if the places were out there.
The CurrentJobs section of our website includes Traineeships and Apprenticeship places.
If your teenager is under 16 then they will only be
able to seek out part-time work, but the skills and experience they gain from
doing a part time job will prepare them for any future opportunities, as well
as giving them some money of their own to spend.
Older teenagers and school leavers are generally
more focused on their options and whether or not further education is right for
them. An 18 year old with real work experience on their CV will stand out to
employers as being work-ready.
We encourage all parents to visit the Parents & Guardians section of our website and pick up some
useful tips and advice.
