When looking for the right apprenticeship, a lot of different questions crop up: How do I find the right profession for me? Where can I find the latest advertisements? What do I earn where? And where is the best place to start looking? Don’t panic, you’re not the only one with questions!
First, you should think about what you really enjoy doing. What interests do you have, where are your strengths? How would your friends describe you? Do you have a knack for technology or is working with people the most important thing for you?
