How you find a suitable apprenticeship

An apprenticeship with a company is the key to the main course. Here is a procedure you can follow while you search.

§How the life story shapes the person you're caring for

• 01Make a short list of today's most important tasks every morning. When the day gets chaotic, the list helps you remember what actually needs to get done.
• 02Contact printers and graphic companies directly — also those who haven't posted a job opening.
• 03Use the school's apprenticeship adviser; they often know companies looking for apprentices.
• 04Be ready to tell why this particular trade interests you.

§If it stretches out

• 01Ask the school if you can start school training while you continue looking.
• 02Follow up on your inquiries instead of waiting for an answer.
• 03Ask for feedback if you get no — it makes the next application better.
