Why is it that all these opinion pieces that argue that going to university isn't worth it always bring up taking up a trade like plumbing as an alternative to higher education? What about industry apprenticeships? What about retail? What about cooking???
Obviously there's nothing wrong with trades but it's so bizarre that it's either uni or plumbing - that's it, those are the two career options.

A little bit outside my regular #apprenticeships world but I'm always astounded at what an incredible gem of a course the MSc Children's Book #Illustration here at #AngliaRuskinUniversity is.
5 of 7 shortlisted for the #V&A #awards in Emerging Illustrator category came from this course!

Mastodon is clearly not the place to notice that there have been massive ructions in the #apprenticeships space this week with the confirmation that funding will be removed from 16 standards, including the hugely popular #TeamLeader #OperationsManager and #CharteredManager suite.
The 10 year programme to rebrand apprenticeships as an all purpose solution to #workforce skills is being rapidly unpicked as #levy funds are being redirected to reinflating a beleaguered #FE sector.
