Josh gets some helpful advice about how to choose a career from a leading careers mentor, Aimee Bateman. At an award-winning dental practice, Josh finds out that dental nursing is for both men and women. Josh also shadows a qualified dental nurse, Philippa Brown, asks her about how she started as an apprentice and what her training involved. An apprenticeship can be a terrific way into a job, to earn while you learn and can offer a real alternative to University for many young people. With school students now having to stay in full time education or training until the age of 18, this clip provides plenty of useful advice to those who may benefit from a vocational education setting. This clip is from the BBC series Apprenticeships. Engineer, hairdresser, plumber, chef, outdoor education tutor, dental nurse - they all have to start their careers somewhere. This dynamic series of six short films follows a group of engaging teenagers as they try out being an apprentice for the day in a wide variety of trades.

Careers and PSHE staff can discuss what pupils need to know about apprenticeships; what they are, what employers are looking for, how to find out if an apprenticeship would suit them. They can discuss with pupils how to weigh up the pros and cons of choosing an apprenticeship over other career pathways. Staff can use the clip with pupils to challenge outmoded career stereotypes, e.g. that dental nursing is just for girls.The clip shows that pupils need to actively choose and manage their careers, by asking questions and planning ahead. They can come up with a list of questions to ask a careers adviser, an apprentice and an employer about apprenticeships in the sectors that interest them. Pupils can research apprenticeship vacancies and other useful information on the National Apprenticeship Service website at www.apprenticeships.org.uk and sites such as http://www.apprenticeshipguide.co.uk/and www.notgoingtouni.co.uk. They can look at information about different types of jobs on the National Careers Service website at https://nationalcareersservice.direct... For specialist advice and information, they can contact the National Careers Service helpline (0800 100 900) or talk to the careers adviser in their own school.Science teachers can use this clip to illustrate one of the many ways in which pupils who enjoy science can gain further qualifications and get started on a science-related career.
