Recruitment - Apprenticeship Question.
Discussion
Hi,
I hope you are all well - I have been asked to attend an interview for a job that I would really like but upon formulating a presentation (as requested), a term which has been used in a question is a cause for concern. It's the terminology of the "apprenticeship stream" which has puzzled me. It has been a three years since I was last employed in this sector and it wasn't a term I was familiar with. I've exhausted search engines but to no avail - it just refers me to the gov.uk site which doesn't clarify or mention it either.
Is anybody able to shed any light on what an "apprenticeship scheme" is? Thank you.

An apprenticeship scheme is usually a 3-4 year training and work job,
Most likely 4 days work with one day release to college a week probably doing a BTEC and NVQ3 at work.
Wages will not be fantastic but you have to look at what you will be earning when fully qualified.
What type of job is it?

I understand what an apprenticeship scheme entails but I am unsure as to what an "apprenticeship stream" is. Would it be the same and/or similar idea?!
Stream is generally used to denote separate paths within the same company. So it's likely they'll have a graduate scheme and an apprenticeship scheme, the graduate scheme not having a day release.I understand what an apprenticeship scheme entails but I am unsure as to what an "apprenticeship stream" is.

I served my time as an engineering apprentice and there were various 'streams', as per the above we had day release to University, each apprentice followed the same offsite educational path but the various streams detailed which aspect of the day to day business you were employed by.
Supply Chain Quality / Ordering / M.E / Shop Support / Design Eng / Stress Eng etc, that's in my experience.
So I would suggest it will either be the path you follow within the apprenticeship (as above) or the actual path of the apprenticeship - train specifically to be HR / Finance / Eng etc.
Good Luck anyway!

My presentation went well, I focused on the funding streams and provisions that are available to both candidate and employer and continued to demonstrate how it would benefit the training provider with their targets and opportunities.
I wasn't successful on this occasion because there was another person who had an extensive experience in the recruitment industry and it would make sense to favour that individual. I am viewing it as more experience in interviews and I derive great satisfaction that I was shortlisted down to the final few, out of many who didn't. As I am only 20, I believe that more opportunities will present themselves in the future! Thank you.
