Just Finishing School or college this year? Here’s Why an Apprenticeship Might Be the Best Move You’ll Ever Make
So, you’ve wrapped up your exams, emptied your locker for the last time, and maybe even burned your revision notes in a dramatic backyard bonfire. Now what?
If you’re feeling that mix of excitement, freedom, and “oh-no-what-now,” you’re not alone. Everyone seems to be asking what’s next—college, uni, work—but maybe none of those paths feel exactly right just yet.
Here’s a seriously underrated option: an apprenticeship. And not just any apprenticeship—one with Avant Skills Academy.
What It’s Actually Like to Start an Apprenticeship with Avant
Take Caelyn, for example.
Two years ago, she was exactly where you might be right now— getting ready for exams, unsure about going to college, and working a few odd jobs just to make some cash. Nothing that really lit a fire in her. Then one day, she found an apprenticeship through Avant Skills Academy as a Business Administrator.
She didn’t know exactly what she wanted, but she figured it was worth a shot.
Now? Caelyn’s got a full-time job, real work experience, and no student debt. She’s managing the reception desk and undertaking key organisational tasks for a real business. And the best part? She is learning on the job while getting paid.
“Avant isn’t like school. It’s not just sitting in a classroom all day—it’s hands-on, it’s practical, and it’s tailored to what employers actually want. They’ll help you build skills in things like business, content creation, data, hairdressing or management, and they’ll actually care about helping you succeed.”
And it’s not just about finding a job. It’s about finding your confidence, your rhythm, and a future that fits you.
So, What’s Stopping You?
You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But if you’re not sure about college or uni—or if you want to get straight into something real while still learning—an apprenticeship could be the perfect move.
Reach out to Avant Skills Academy. Ask questions. Get curious. There’s a place for you, even if you’re not 100% sure what that looks like yet.
This time next year, you could be getting paid to learn, building your future, and finally feeling like you’re on the right track.
