What to expect
Your Careers Journey with Connect2Care
Before and at the Start of Your Apprenticeship
Explore your career pathways in adult care, early years, and funeral services. Learn to write a CV, build a professional brand, and develop your confidence. All 16–18-year-olds complete online safety and safeguarding sessions. You’ll also have a one-to-one session with a careers adviser to discuss your goals and next steps.
During Your Apprenticeship
Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll have opportunities to meet employers, experience the workplace, and take part in sessions on wellbeing, communication, and teamwork. We’ll help you understand equality, diversity, and inclusion and how these values shape your career.
Towards the End of Your Apprenticeship
As your apprenticeship nears completion, we’ll support you with job applications, interviews, and career progression. You can explore leadership roles, higher-level qualifications, or further study with tailored advice and a final careers exit interview.
