Get “Degree Apprenticeship Ready”
Below are 10 proven things you can do to dramatically increase your chances of landing a coveted degree apprenticeship.
1 - Networking
Creating a professional network will provide you with insider knowledge and unparalleled help and advice.
2 - Work Experience
Gaining relevant work experience will help you enhance your CV and LinkedIn profile, and will help you create compelling degree apprenticeship applications.
3 - Upskilling & additional qualifications
If you study additional courses that align with your chosen degree apprenticeship, it will set you apart from the competition.
4 - Curriculum Vitae
Your CV is your passport to success - creating a standout CV that’s tailored to specific job applications will open doors.
5 - Finding Degree Apprenticeships
There’s no central portal where you can find every degree apprenticeship, so understanding how to shortcut this process is essential.
Most degree apprenticeships are inundated with applications, so missing a deadline is not an option - you will be rejected automatically.
Most applicants fail to make it past the first stage - so understanding how to create a winning online application is key.
8 - Interview Ready
You need to understand the different interview formats (e.g. online, group, face-to-face) and pre-prepare answers and practice - going in cold is not an option.
Organisations use a variety of techniques to assess candidates (e.g. Networking Events, Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs), HireVue) - you have to find out what to expect in advance.
10 - Assessment Day
This is the final stage of the recruitment process - it’s vital you prepare (and know how to prepare) for this day.
