CONVERSATION:
University vs Apprenticeships
24/11/16 Bethany Glover
In light of the recent University vs Apprenticeships debate, two students from Berkshire discuss the advantages and disadvantages of continuing into higher education and obtaining a degree, or starting training for a job whilst acquiring nationally recognised qualifications. The debate was influenced by recent studies, showing an influx in students wishing to go to university and subsequent decline in those wanting to do an apprenticeship.
In words: ‘What do you think is better to do…’
Out words: ‘Whereas with an apprenticeship, once you’re there, you’re there.’
