048: Exciting alternatives to university with Anna Morrison (Amazing Apprenticeships) & Conor Cotton (Not Going To Uni)
What are you intending to do after you finish school and / or what were the options you considered?
In the past few years, in the UK, there have been an increasing number of options about what young people can do after school... beyond the traditional full time university route.
In this conversation with Anna Morrison from Amazing Apprenticeships and Conor Cotton from Not Going to Uni - we are reminded about exciting alternatives to full time university.
Thinking about an apprenticeship? Degree apprenticeship? Gap year? Wondering if this is a good option for you?
... and if you are concerned about how your parents would feel about you taking an alternative route to the traditional university one - that topic is not only addressed in this episode but in summer 2021, Anna and Conor are launching a podcast called "The Parent Perspective" so look out for that too.
