Starting your career in the trades? One big decision is whether to take on an apprenticeship or dive straight into full-time work.

Apprenticeships

• Pros: Learn on the job, earn while training, nationally recognised qualifications.
• Cons: Lower starting pay, longer path to independence.

Full-Time Work

• Pros: Higher pay right away, faster career growth.
• Cons: Less structured training, might need to upskill on your own.

Which Path Is Right for You?

If you’re young and eager to learn, apprenticeships are brilliant. If you’ve already got hands-on experience, full-time work might suit you better.
