Improved

A Much Bigger Library 📚

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 👔

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 💼

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 💻

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 ⚖️

  • 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.

Improved

Optimised for Mobile 📱

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

🍔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 📲

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 — the entire card is already tappable so the icon was redundant on small screens

Now you can enjoy APRNTCSHP on mobile :)


Please share with anyone who's applying for apprenticeships and let me know if you can add to the website in anyway by sharing resources or giving feedback using the “FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS“ button in the bottom left corner.
