'How To Apply for an Apprenticeship' provides insightful information on how people can seek out an apprenticeship online through the official website. Young people who want to take the next step in their careers can create a personal account and upload their CVs to get invited for one-on-one interviews. Accounts are designed to help employers find out more about applicants, and young people can learn valuable job skills for their future.

This video covers important aspects of the applications process such as personal appearances, and how to get ready for interviews. Companies and apprentices have also contributed to the video offering tips to future applicants. Some of the guidance includes: researching employers, identifying skills and traits, and tailoring applications for specific companies.
