Apprentice VS College

Hands-on learning experience

Instead of spending most of your time in a classroom, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly in your chosen field. This means you’ll gain practical skills and experience right from the start, and is a great way to apply what you learn in real-world situations.

Earn while you learn

Perhaps one of their biggest benefits is that apprenticeships come with a paycheck – you’re essentially being paid to learn and grow in your chosen career. This can be a huge advantage over university, where you’ll need to find a job on the side if you want to earn some cash.

Early career progression

In apprenticeships, you’ll have the chance to work alongside experienced professionals right from the first day, leading to faster advancement in your career compared to a traditional academic route.

A direct path to employment

Lots of apprenticeships come with a direct pathway into a job. Kooler Group offers apprenticeships with full-time positions after they complete the program. This means you have a job waiting for you at the end of your training period, which isn’t always the case with a university degree.

Is an apprenticeship right for me?

If you thrive in a hands-on environment and prefer practical learning over traditional classroom settings, an apprenticeship could be perfect for you. But don’t forget your apprenticeship will still involve some study too – plus, you’ll be committing to a real job and all the responsibility that entails as well.
