Personalised career guidance is crucial, as apprentices often feel uncertain about how to continue their career paths. This can include one-on-one mentoring where the mentor provides career advice, shares experiences, and guides apprentices on specific career paths.
Example:
Session focus: meet with the apprentice to discuss their career aspirations, strengths, and areas of interest.
- Use a career assessment tool (e.g., Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or StrengthsFinder) to help the apprentice identify their strengths and interests.
- Outcome: Develop a personalised career plan with short-term and long-term goals. For instance, if an apprentice is interested in project management, set milestones such as completing a project management course and taking on small projects to build experience.
