Introduction
The resources have been created by a partnership project . The materials are for use in schools to inform and help students through understanding soft skills , learning about apprenticeships , supporting applications for jobs and apprenticeships and helping them to stay positive and motivated throughout the job search process . They will also help them understand and improve their communication skills as well as provide guidance for having a positive impact during online interviews as these are becoming so much more common .
The team behind the resources include members of staff from University of Portsmouth , Southampton City Council and Aspire Learning and Development , representing the ALPHI network and the ASK project .
The investors behind the resources are the Southern Universities Network , University of Portsmouth and Solent Apprenticeship Hub .
We are delighted to include some case studies provided by local employers and their apprentices . These include Portsmouth City Council , Zurich Insurance , BAE Systems , Mayfield School , SETA and DP World . Our thanks go to all who gave time to support these case studies .
