Young people will soon be able to search and apply for apprenticeships alongside degrees on UCAS, education chiefs have announced today.
The Department for Education and UCAS said the service will be expanded this autumn so people can see “more personalised options” that will include apprenticeships, allowing them to see different pathways into careers side-by-side.
From autumn 2024, students will then be able to apply for apprenticeships alongside the usual undergraduate degree applications.
According to UCAS, around half of students that register on the site say they would consider an apprenticeship but not enough vacancies are being advertised.
