The Parent Perspective

In October 2023, the nation’s number one apprenticeship employer, the British Army, celebrates 100 years of offering apprenticeships - but what does an apprenticeship in the British Army look like? What options are available? And how do you go about getting on an Army apprenticeship?

To answer those questions and plenty more, host Rachel Burden is joined by Colonel Craig Terblanche, who is part of the Education Training Services team in the British Army and Deputy Assistant to the Chief of Staff within Education and Mandy Gregson, whose son Oscar has just graduated from Army Foundation College Harrogate (in August) and has moved into training.

The Parent Perspective, hosted by BBC presenter Rachel Burden, was created to help parents and carers support their children in making more informed career decisions with greater confidence, knowledge and understanding.

In each episode we will share your experiences of navigating career conversations with your children and provide insights into how the world of work is changing from trusted experts, organisations and employers already working with young people today.

If you have any questions that you need answers to, you can join the conversation on social media by following @AmazingAppsUK and @NotGoingToUni and using the hashtag #parentperspective.
