Pre-apprenticeships are a great way to take the next step towards getting into the industry of your choice. In most cases, people choose the pre-apprenticeship before an apprenticeship to prepare them for the working environment.
Every pre-apprenticeship includes:
Initial training to give you a head start and a competitive edge when finding employment
One to one support with coach to help you find apprenticeship vacancies
Employability sessions to improve your CV, job applications and interview techniques
Student services to help you access financial support and careers advice and guidance
Access to vacancies with Southwark College’s employer partners
English, maths, digital and vocational training to improve your application, if required.
Pre-apprenticeships are open to both young people and adults. They can also be taken as part of the Sector-based Work Academy Programmes to support you to gain access to your chosen industry.

Please note that, at present, this advice refers only to arrivals from Wuhan, and not the remainder of China. If you have returned from Wuhan you should:
Call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the city. Students should also notify their GP.
Self-isolate for a total period of 14 days following arrival from Wuhan – avoiding contact with other people in the same way as you would in the case of ‘flu. You should do this whether or not you are experiencing any symptoms.
