Our areas of expertise
Information about Apprenticeships
If you are looking for a job that enables you to carry on learning, or are already in employment and want to gain further qualifications, an Apprenticeship could be a great option for you. As an apprentice you can start work and earn a decent wage, while learning new skills that will lead to nationally recognised qualifications. So, if you want to earn and learn, an Apprenticeship could be the ideal choice.
Types of Apprenticeships
There are Apprenticeships available in a diverse range of industries from the creative sector to the public sector; from engineering companies to the leisure and travel industry. Our mentors here have been through various kinds of Apprenticeships and will be able to tell you about their own personal journeys and experiences.
Apprenticeship Vacancies
On our website www.apprenticeships.org.uk you can search for, learn about and apply for a range of vacancies posted by employers. Our mentors here may be able to answer questions about the specific type of Apprenticeship you are interested in.
Why we're on horsesmouth
We believe that “graduate” apprentices can help support and inspire others in a more personal way because they’ve “been there and done that”. In our recent advertising campaign you may have seen Sir Alan Sugar reckoning that Apprentices ‘Make Things Happen’. We want to help make Apprenticeships happen for more people by giving them the opportunity to ask for personal and practical support in this safe online environment.

I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
well what a geat website! in all honestly, i basically typed in "agony aunts online" while on a down day just expecting some upbeat optimism on the computer, and came across this site. it is so much better than just reading a passage on a website, to actually talk to REAL people for honest advice and listening about particular subjects rather than a general overview.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who replied to one of my recent shout outs about forgiving - every message was useful and some very helpful indeed! It really feels good to know other people understand how i've been feeling, and to know there are people not far from me to help! Thanks so much, and everyone please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help anyone with any problem you may be having xxx
