be made easier by encouraging them to think about the school subjects
that they enjoy most, and then looking at which apprenticeships they
could lead to.
Have a think about your favourite subjects.
• Use the subject posters to look at the range of apprenticeships listed for each subject.
• Carry out independent research to see what you can find out about those apprenticeships.
