Best apprenticeship at 16?

[isthesolution]

My daughter is predicted 8s and 9s in GCSEs but definitely doesn’t want to do sixth form - she wants to do an apprenticeship. Ideally one that she can build on to degree level in the future.

There Is no subject she particularly loves. She’d love a job that could longer term be hybrid. Definitely doesn’t want to do anything in health/social care and is wary of jobs the AI might take over in the near future (although very hard to know!)

What have you/your children done as an apprenticeship at 16 that you love and has led on to a degree/good job?

Thanks

To be an engineer @Littletreefrog you need a BEng or MEng degree. If you want a nursing degree, it’s another loan that you won’t qualify for, You can use your engineering degree for your job or not, but stacking up degrees required for different degree level work is virtually impossible and I suspect you haven’t done it. As a first degree, engineering grads might choose finance, law, and msny careers where the first degree is a starting point. What’s not going to happen is another 3/4 years of loans for a second undergrad degree. Not for most people - but employers might pay for older staff to facilitate career change but apprenticeships are not supposed to be used like this either.

Unrealistic for most people financially but definitely not impossible. Anyway this has nothing to do with apprenticeships which is what OP asked about so I'm not sure why you are going down this route. OPs daughter wants to do an post GCSE apprenticeship which may then lead to a degree level apprenticeship.

@Littletreefrog In response to your post about career changes and degrees. Apprenticeships are fine if you get a good one and not a basic one which leads nowhere!
