Is that a good thing, though? How many of them would be better served doing an apprenticeship?

70% respondents to the 2018 IAC annual survey of #apprentices drive to work - 8% of our respondents are driving and spending >£50 a week on their commute. Lot of money on an #apprentice wage, even an #engineering apprentice wage.

Well done to everyone getting #GCSE results today! Remember - you don't have to go on to sixth form if you don't want to. You can do a Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship, get work experience, get paid, get trained and get the best start!

What do you think - should degree apprenticeships be given special treatment?

On the one hand - this is good for those who value quality over quantity.
On the other... we need a new success measure! How about retentions? Or destinations?

We're chuffed to be able to say that over 1,500 people have completed our 2018 IAC annual survey of #apprentices - an amazing effort and over 300 more than 2017!
We're just going through the data now - some really interesting findings already jumping out at us!

Not great news for #alevelresultsday2018 - let's see if this goes up next month as A Level students turn to #apprenticeships as an alternative to HE/FE!

Very best of luck to everyone getting their #alevelresults today! Remember, there are plenty non-university options - including #apprenticeships, some to degree level! Earn, learn, get your degree, get experience - it's a pretty sweet deal! notgoingtouni.co.uk/apprenticeship…

Former apprentice: "I passed the end-point assessment."
Employer: "Sound, in you come!"

Future conversation with a job applicant. Employer: “what grade did you get in your T-Level? Is it a number (like for GCSEs) or a letter (like for A-level) or a word such as ‘Distinction’ (like for a BTEC)?” Applicant: “I got a C and a ‘pass’ and a ‘working towards’” 🤔
