Published: 21st of November 2024
Ever thought about a career in Science, Pharmacy and Dental but not sure where to start?
We’ve got six reasons why an Apprenticeship could be the perfect way to get into this sector. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming a pharmacy assistant, a dental nurse, or even a technician, here’s why an Apprenticeship is the choice for you!
1. Earn while you learn
Why wait years to start earning when you could get paid right now? With an Apprenticeship, you’ll work in real-world environments like dental practices or pharmacies, earning a salary while you gain qualifications.
2. Gain skills in patient care
In Pharmacy, you’ll learn how to dispense prescriptions, manage stock, and advise patients on their medication. In Dental, you’ll assist with treatments, sterilise equipment, and support patients during procedures. These hands-on skills are exactly what employers are looking for and can’t be learned in a classroom alone.
3. Learn to work with cutting-edge technology
This sector relies on advanced technology, and as an Apprentice, you’ll get to grips with it early on.
4. Be part of a team that makes a difference
Roles in this sector play a huge part in improving people’s health and wellbeing. In a pharmacy, you’ll be at the heart of the community, helping people understand their treatments and advising them on how to stay healthy. In dental care, you’ll work closely with dentists and patients, ensuring everyone leaves with a confident smile.
5. Work with expert teams
Pharmacies and dental clinics are tight-knit teams of highly skilled professionals. During your Apprenticeship, you’ll be learning from experienced pharmacists, technicians, dentists, and nurses who know their craft inside out.
6. Secure a career in an essential industry
Pharmacy and Dental careers are always in demand! By starting your career now, you’re setting yourself up with skills that are essential in any community.
