StudentSpringboard Expert careers consultancy and coaching for teens and young adults approaching completion of their 'A' levels or degree studies.

Choosing degree courses/university, early career planning, Personal Statements, CV's, interviews, Apprenticeships and more! I set up StudentSpringboard in 2016 having left the corporate world of student recruitment, and in response to meeting (and helping) a number of students who were approaching major education or career milestones. Some were selecting Universities and courses or considering alternative paths such as Degree Apprenticeships, others were writing their first CV, approaching internships and graduate job interviews - to name a few examples. I found that despite being academically successful, and having received some careers advice at school or university, many still lacked clarity and confidence about their future path. With over 22 years’ experience of managing several blue-chip student/graduate recruitment departments (thus understanding the employers perspective), extensive experience of working with students at all ages and stages, and a genuine passion for helping them make and achieve the right education and early career choices - I have a unique blend of skills to help them:

- Fully explore their options and make important further education and 'early career' choices
- Effectively prepare for applications, interviews and assessment centres (school, university and employment)
- Increase their confidence and success in all aspects of the selection and application process

Applying for a degree apprenticeship? Don’t overlook higher apprenticeships too.

With competition growing every year, Level 4 and 5 apprenticeships can be a brilliant route into the same industries and some even include degree-level qualifications.

You can often start at this level, gain real work experience and qualifications, then progress onto a full degree apprenticeship later. It’s worth keeping your options open!

Are you in Year 13 and considering an apprenticeship instead of university?

Now is the time to start looking and applying. Many employers open applications months in advance, even when roles do not begin until next September and popular opportunities can close quickly.

Don’t leave it until the last minute. Starting early gives you more choice, more time to prepare, and a better chance of finding the right fit.

· Being unprepared for a test, interview or other assessments can be the make or break as to whether you progress to the next stage, winging it rarely works!

· Knowing what to prepare is key, preparing strong examples/answers for interview questions and researching the company/role is so important!

· Practicing things like psychometric tests, interview questions and even run throughs for assessments such as presentations can build your confidence for the real thing.. try practicing with a parent or friend (who can take it seriously!)
