Are you a Parent
helping your Teenager to find work?
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 apprenticeship schemes. There is still some 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.
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.
