We would like to ask for your help in completing this short survey.

By completing this survey we can better understand the views and support needs of parents and carers regarding apprenticeships and technical education for your child.

As one of the key influencers in a young person’s decision-making journey, it is important that we can help you feel confident in helping and supporting your child to explore the many options that are available beyond school.

By completing this survey, you are contributing towards the development of the Hertfordshire Apprenticeships Strategy, helping to secure funding to better support your child’s school and providing important insights to be used both at an individual school and county-wide level. If you would like more information, please visit the HOP website.

This survey is being conducted by Amazing Apprenticeships on behalf of Hertfordshire LEP and Hertfordshire Careers Hub. All responses will be kept confidential, and we will not share your details or individual responses with any other parties.

If you have more than one child currently in secondary school, please answer the following questions with your eldest secondary school-aged child in mind.

The survey should take between 5 – 10 minutes to complete.

Please see the below flyer for the Get Sep Ready session hosted by Services for Young People.

We have received the following information from medicmentor.org for students from years 10-13 who are interested in a career in the NHS:

After the success of our recent NHS National AHP Work Experience session, I am thrilled to extend an invitation to your students in years 10-13 or S3-S6 year groups for our upcoming session on Sunday 7th April, 8:30am – 5pm, focusing on Communication & Fractures.

The NHS Virtual Allied Healthcare Work Experience offers a unique opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals. It’s a rare occasion for students to hear from our exceptional guest speaker, Melanie Dalby, a pharmacist specialising in haematology and clinical academic research lead for pharmacy at King’s College Hospital.

Melanie will provide invaluable guidance to help these future professionals embark on their dream healthcare careers. Following Melanie’s talk, students will gain an intimate look at the healthcare industry in the LIVE virtual work experience, delving into diverse roles within allied healthcare and taking a closer look at patient care by following the journeys of two patients from incident through to treatment.
