r/degreeapprenticeships

I had my online interview for pwc and it was so harddd I totally fumbled I kept going off track omds I really wanted this aswell😭😖

Currently in year 13 and I didn’t do any work experience in year 12, and no company I applied for is offering work experience , but I have been looking into virtual work experience

Has anyone heard back after completing the online assessment?

What did you guys think of the online assessment it was really short and I don’t know how well I did. What do they usually base it off of

I had applied for early years apprenticeship and got offered place from them but i lived outside of UK from mu birth till i was 16 to 17 and only arrived here in like 26 Oct 2023. Now im worried tht i might need overseas police check im not sure though cuz i was underage during my stay there and i also hold British passport as my dad’s British will I be able to get this apprenticeship or will i get declined after they check everything idk im just too confused

I’m in year 12 and I’m aiming to get a degree apprenticeship. I live in the north east and I was checking websites last night and there was only 1 on the gov website is there any other websites I need to be looking at ?

so basically, i like to read up on the latest trends in tech and my manager encourages it as we are software engineers. todays top bbc article is around trump's chnage to calling it "Super Intelligence" instead of AI and how now .si website domains have skyrocketed. it then talked about how a guy bought a men.com domain name for cheap and resold it for millions. I was curious so i copy pasted that domain name (BBC gave literally 0 context as to what it was), and then I was blocked by my company stating it was cornography which i didnt know. i deleted my history after. i am assuming that since my work laptop is heavily audited/tracked they should clearly see me copy pasting that link into browser from the bbc article instead of me randomly deciding one day to visit that page? could i get into trouble/fired over this ? i have been having a panic attack over this.

This is a short post but realistically do you need insane specs to get into a Dyson apprenticeship. Like I know that there is a lot of competition but I wanna know like my chances before investing too much time and effort and the end up only accepting ppl with Gold UKMT and some insane projects with 5 A stars. Im a good student with A* math prediction and A physics with some decent projects but nothing exceptional yk. But the course looks so good so I rlly wanna try.

Im 16, doing my gcses and hoping to get an IT/Hardware apprenticeship instead of going to college. My teachers keep telling me apprenticeships are really competitive and hard to get, and its just making me pretty nervous.

Over the past couple of years ive really got into homelabs and building servers aswell as my own pc which i spent ages saving up for. I have xubuntu running on a system with some parts i scavenged for on ebay and facebook marketplace running jellyfin game servers and my family uses it as a nas. I also fix and help family members with their computers or upgrading and helping pick out new parts for them.

To anyone who hires IT apprentices or is doing one right now, does having home projects like this or experience with linux actually help you stand out to employers, or do most of the applicants do this sort of stuff?
