Types of jobs

There are lots of different types of job you can do, ranging from Apprenticeships to part-time or holiday work, volunteering and work experience.

Jobs with training

Many jobs will offer on-the-job training, with the chance to gain useful skills while you are earning. In some jobs you may also have the chance to gain work-related qualifications. Training at work can improve your chances of being promoted as well as giving you better job security and skills you can use in future jobs.

Jobs without training

Some jobs don't offer any formal training and may be a bit of a "dead end" for your career. Even if wages appear to be high to begin with, remember you won't have much chance to progress in your role or learn anything new.
