Not only is the 9-5 desk culture a thing of the past for the millions of school leavers waiting for their A-level results this month but increasingly, so is the well-trodden path to university
Just one in 10 youngsters would even consider an office job – instead they are opting for careers which meet their demands for flexibility, fun and the ability to earn as they learn.
The research further revealed that over four-in-five youngsters see apprenticeships as every bit as relevant as a university degree and 62% thought they were a much better way of forging ahead into the workplace altogether. And apprenticeships in the hospitality industry across pubs, restaurants and hotels are proving to be a hot ticket for this year’s A-level cohort.
Of the 2,000 adults polled on behalf of pub company and brewer Greene King, 71% said conventional working patterns are outdated in the post-pandemic workplace. In 2022, Greene King pledged to achieve 20,000 apprentices by 2025. The hospitality leader is making steady progress towards this, having supported over 17,000 through its award-winning apprenticeship scheme since 2011. It was awarded a place on the government’s Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers List last month.
