We encourage all teachers and career advisers to access and use the resources available on these pages when speaking to students and clients about apprenticeships or traineeship options.
They include links to film case studies, application support packs for learners and apprenticeship presentations that can be used by teachers and advisers to inform learners about apprenticeships and traineeships.

Calling All Teachers: Tell Tristram Hooley What You Think About Careers Work
In a recent post on his blog, Professor of Careers Education Tristram Hooley from the University of Derby made the following appeal to teachers to assist the International Centre for Guidance Studies in their latest research:
"Over the years we’ve done a lot of research on careers work in schools. One of the main things that we’ve found is that careers work is too important to be left to careers advisers.
Of course careers advisers are critical to supporting young people’s careers – but they need to be part of a whole school approach. Inevitably this means that teachers have an important role.
We’ve written about this in the paper Teachers and Careers.
We are now conducting some research to find out more about teachers attitudes to career education and guidance. So if you are a secondary school teacher in England we would really like to hear from you."
