We've created this hub to provide you with the information you'll need to help inform career discussions with your young people. From whether an apprenticeship is the right route and the application process, to the support they'll receive and future career opportunities, this page will help you guide informed decisions.
Is an apprenticeship the right choice?
School leaver apprenticeships offer a fantastic route into a career in professional services, with benefits including:
1. Learning while working. An apprenticeship gives people the opportunity to put the theory they learn at college into practice right away, aiding their learning experience.
2. No student debt. Being able to earn whilst learning makes apprenticeships a great way to achieve professional qualifications whilst having more financial stability.
3. Fast track to a career. If someone already knows they want to work towards an accountancy qualification, then an apprenticeship can often get them there quicker than university.
4. Career opportunities. A chartered accountancy qualification opens up amazing opportunities, and can lead to long and varied careers.
If your young person is already at university and you're looking to support them in their career options, we also offer graduate programmes, 12 month placements and internships.
Supporting your young person
As a parent, carer or guardian, the most important role you can play in the process is being there to support your young person. Here are four simple ways you can help:
1. Talk to them about what they're looking for in their career, and what's important to them in an employer.
2. Take an interest in the process. Make sure they've explored the Employability Hub and understand the application process before they start.
3. Encourage them to look at the skills we're looking for and think about how their experience and skills align. We look at more than just their academic achievements and we consider these alongside their other strengths and motivations.
4. Help them practice interviewing and encourage them to think about the questions they can ask, and responses they can give to show them at their best.
Watch the video below to hear Sarah Ironmonger, a partner and parent, and Aqsa, a placement student, talk about their experiences as a parent supporting children through the decision process and as a young person benefitting from a parent's support.
How we support them along the way
We know a training contract is a big undertaking. We ask a lot of our trainees, but we also give them a lot of support in return. We have a dedicated early careers team and people managers who support our trainees throughout their training contract - from help in organising their studying to assistance with any additional learning needs.
Career launchpad
In 2024 we launched a brand new onboarding programme for our audit trainees. Career Launchpad prioritises the mental well-being and resilience of our trainees while, at the same time, preparing them to deliver high-quality work. Starting with an initial 12 weeks of practical and skills-based learning, the programme extends beyond this to set up trainees for future success with dedicated support and training. You can read more about Career Launchpad here.
Opening up a world of opportunity
Our open and accessible culture gives trainees amazing opportunities to interact with senior business figures early in their career and the progression pathway is structured to develop practical skills alongside professional exams, ensuring steady growth towards becoming qualified.
Once qualified, the opportunities for trainees open up even further, they can keep progressing in their team, explore a different business area or travel abroad and work at one of the Grant Thornton member firms around the world.
