March 30th, 2026

New

Featurebase is now embedded into the site

Two new widgets have been added that bring feedback and updates directly into the site without ever leaving the page.

Feedback widget πŸ—£οΈ

The "Feedback & suggestions" button in the footer now opens a popup form directly on the site. No new tab, no redirects, no account needed. Type your feedback and submit. That is it.

Previously clicking the button opened Featurebase in a new tab. The new experience is significantly lower friction and means more students will actually submit suggestions.

Changelog card πŸ”„οΈ

A small card will now appear in the bottom right corner of the site for returning visitors whenever a new update is published. It shows the title of the latest changelog entry and disappears once dismissed.

First time visitors will not see it. It only appears after a new update has been published since your last visit. It is subtle, non-intrusive and rewards people who come back to the site regularly.

March 28th, 2026

New

A lot has changed since the last update. Here's everything that's new.

Companies page 🏒

A brand new page listing major UK employers with apprenticeship programmes. From Google and Goldman Sachs to Rolls Royce and TfL, every company links directly to their apprenticeship guide.

Industries - Finance πŸͺ™

The second industry page is live. The Finance page covers banking, accounting, insurance and financial services apprenticeships with resources, guides and a communities section.

Tags on Organisations and Communities 🏷️

The generic descriptions on every organisation and community card have been replaced with tags. Instead of a vague one-liner you can now instantly see what each card offers β€” Job Board, Mentorship, Events, Identity Led, and more.

Resources page - new sections 🌟

Two new sections have been added to the Resources page:

Assessment Centre β€” guides on how to prepare for and stand out at apprenticeship assessment centres.

Get Inspired β€” real apprentice stories and case studies from Gov.uk, Higherin, Not Going to Uni, Apprenticeships.scot and more.

Law page updates βš–οΈ

The Law industry page now includes a Podcast section and an expanded Communities section for students pursuing legal apprenticeships.

Other

  • The footer "last updated" text now reads "Last updated [date] β€” see what changed" with a direct link to this changelog

March 25th, 2026

Improved

A big update today. The Resources page has been completely expanded and a brand new Industries section has been added to the site.

Resources page

The Resources page has grown from 3 sections to 7. It now covers the full apprenticeship application journey from start to finish.

New sections added:

Apprenticeship Guides ℹ️

A new first section covering what apprenticeships are, how they work, and which level is right for you. 4 guides from Gov.uk, Best Apprenticeships, My Great First Job, and My World of Work.

Interview Prep πŸ‘”

6 resources covering interview tips, common questions, and assessment centres. Includes a PDF guide from Apprenticeships.gov.uk and guides from Gradcracker, Success at School, Best Apprenticeships, and Prospects.

Work Experience πŸ’Ό

6 resources covering work experience by year group and by sector. Includes sector-specific guides for law and finance alongside year group guides for Year 11, 12 and 13.

LinkedIn & Personal Brand πŸ’»

4 resources covering how to build your LinkedIn profile and develop your personal brand as an apprenticeship applicant.

The sticky section nav has been updated to include all new sections and scrolls horizontally on mobile so every pill is reachable.

Industries

A brand new section of the site. The idea is simple: pick your industry and find everything you need in one place, firms, organisations, resources, and blogs, all specific to that sector.

The first industry page is Law.

Law βš–οΈ

  • 19 firms with solicitor apprenticeship programmes including Linklaters, Freshfields, Clifford Chance, A&O Shearman, and Slaughter & May

  • 3 organisations supporting aspiring legal apprentices including Aspiring Solicitors and Legally Apprentice

  • 3 resources including how to write a legal CV and the LegalCheek Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List

  • LegalCheek as a blogs and news resource

More industries coming soon. Finance, Tech, and Engineering are next.

March 23rd, 2026

Improved

The site now works properly on phone. Here's what changed.

πŸ”Hamburger menu

The desktop nav links are hidden on mobile and replaced with a clean hamburger menu. Tap the icon to reveal all four navigation links. Tap again or navigate to close it.

Footer 🦢

The footer was cramped and wrapping awkwardly on small screens. It now stacks vertically and sits cleanly at the bottom of every page.

Resources sticky nav

The three section pills were overflowing off screen on mobile. They now scroll horizontally and automatically snap to show the active pill as you scroll through the page.

PWA support πŸ“²

The site can now be installed to your phone home screen. On Android, Chrome will prompt you to add it after a couple of visits. On iOS, tap Share then "Add to Home Screen". It opens full screen with no browser bar, just like a native app.

Other fixes

  • Fixed a white flash when navigating between pages

  • Hidden external link icons on mobile β€” the entire card is already tappable so the icon was redundant on small screens

Now you can enjoy APRNTCSHP on mobile :)
