URGENT: Careers advice, apprenticeships, staying in training til 18 - what do you think?

On a panel tomorrow talking about early careers advice. Obviously will be mentioning our Mumsnet mentoring and careers database - please fill your job in if you haven't already. But would love to know if your teen has had any useful careers advice at school? Has anyone mentioned apprenticeships as an alternative to university and are you considering that route or do you know anyone who has done an apprenticeship? Also what do you think of idea that everyone will have to stay in training or education til age 18 ?
Sorry for all questions but don't want to be giving answers based just on my three dcs and when I try and search apprentice on Mn you can guess what sort of threads I get!
Thanks in advance for your help

was that available to everyone and what did they say about apprenticeships? Did it make them sound appealing to you/your dc? My dd is 15 and at her "careers" fair there were a few universities, a law firm and various folks talking about snow boarding on your gap year Hmm

Agree inspiring the future brilliant organisation - recommend anyone signing up, wish my dd could access one of their events. Noone has mentioned apprenticeships. I know noone who has done one and noone who has had that mentioned as an option for their child - do you? Also do you think it's a good thing that children stay in education/training til 18?
