Launched by the social mobility charity upReach, Aspire was created to encourage state school students all over the UK to aim high and broaden their career horizons. Aimed at Year 12 and 13 students, these resources provide detailed information about a wide range of career options that students from lower socio-economic backgrounds may have limited exposure to through existing networks.

Developed by VTCT (Vocational Training Charitable Trust), these resources will inform those considering a career in Beauty Therapy, Hairdressing or Barbering industries and their parents/guardians of the options available to them and the opportunities for their future career.

How should you introduce the apprenticeship route to your students, so that they can start to make informed choices about their future? We challenge pre-conceptions and discover different areas of apprenticeships, some of which may surprise your pupils, using examples from across the British Army.
