I cannot decide whether to go to college or do an Apprenticeship. How do I choose?
Think about the pros and cons of both an apprenticeship and college. This will be personal to you, and it will help to write an actual list. An Apprenticeship is an ‘on the job’ way of learning, combining learning with work. At college you have the choice of academic or vocational courses. It would also be possible to do an apprenticeship at a college and combine both. The important thing is to do your research and fully explore all your options. Mrs. D Long or a Birmingham/Solihull Careers Service adviser (if you have already left education) can help you to think through your ideas.
