Uni is the primary pathway for most LaSWAP students, but it is not the only option. This webinar will discuss alternative pathways to uni with a focus on apprenticeships, including how and when to apply, how to research, which sectors have the best options and more. There will be time for questions, and the webinar will be recorded for those who can't make it live.
