Apprenticeships in 2021: What does 2021 look like for Apprenticeships?

Will we see an increase in apprenticeship job opportunities in 2021?

At the start of the pandemic we saw a slow decline in the number of apprenticeship job opportunities being advertised, however in recent weeks that number has slowly increased as more positive sentiment is felt by leading companies across the UK. 



This could be down to positive news about a vaccine being introduced towards the latter part of 2020 or early 2021, or that companies have now adapted to the new way of working. Who knows?

One thing is for sure, the pandemic will eventually quieten down and we, companies, will start to focus on the future and rebuilding their brands, and the good news is they will be recruiting apprentices!

What does 2021 look like for Apprenticeships?

 In our opinion 2021 looks great already, with the steady increase we are seeing from advertised apprenticeship jobs and companies planning their apprentice intake, plus the positive news coming out about apprenticeship success stories why wouldn’t it be great? Big name brands such as Channel 4 and Nestle are advertising their apprenticeships for 2021 intake which you can view here: Nestle Apprenticeships - Channel 4 Apprenticeships
