Students struggling to access information on apprenticeships Published: 27 May 2021 Over half (55%) of students looking to apply to higher education in 2022 are interested in apprenticeships, but a lack of information is inhibiting their decision making. New research by UCAS has found while students are increasingly more interested in apprenticeships, 22% said they have struggled to get information about them. Almost a third (31%) of students said it was very easy to access information about university compared to just 6% who said the same about apprenticeships. Martin Tiplady, CEO of Chameleon People Solutions, said apprenticeships are not given the recognition they deserve and are often regarded as an inferior route into work.
