Not going to uni - This website has an advice blog, case studies about previous apprentices, employer profiles at 1,100+ live apprenticeship vacancies that you can apply for.

Apprenticeships - This is the government website where companies post the apprenticeship vacancies, they have available and where people are able to apply for them.

Indeed is a website where you can find jobs, there are over 250 million users every month. Lots of employers post their jobs here because they are free to post.

Total jobs is another place you can look for job roles, employers have to pay to put their jobs on here so it is a slightly different variety to what you will find on indeed.

Remember, each employer will have their own careers section on the website so you can also use these to research job roles at particular companies.
