What do I really want to do?
If you are thinking about doing an Apprenticeship, you do need to know what you want to do. If you get an interview the employer will definitely ask why you want the job, so you do need to know as much as possible about the job and why you want it.

Find out as much as possible about all the Apprenticeships that you could do and then decide which you would most like, and which would suit you best.
