Episode 38: Degree & Higher Apprenticeships - Earn and learn

Are you weighing up whether to go to university or start an apprenticeship? In this episode, we bring together a panel of experts and students to explore both pathways, helping you make an informed decision about your future.

We’ll cover:

• The different types of apprenticeships and how they compare to university degrees.
• Why apprenticeships can be a game-changer for young people starting their careers.
• Common myths about apprenticeships – including job security, student life, and career flexibility.
• Whether university offers experiences that apprenticeships can’t quite match.
• Real-life insights from students and professionals who’ve taken both routes.

And, as always, we’ll ask our panel: knowing what they know now, what advice would they give their younger selves when deciding between university and an apprenticeship?

If you're unsure about your next steps, this episode is packed with insights, practical advice, and real experiences to help you decide. Tune in now to find the right path for you!
