I got tired of the endless search for apprenticeships — scattered websites, outdated listings, and zero clarity. So I built ApprenticeWatch with an incredible team that shares the same vision. Our goal? To make finding opportunities simple and stress-free. If something’s broken, you fix it — and that’s exactly what we’re doing. This isn’t just another platform; it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about kickstarting their career.

As friends with similar career goals, I often shared my frustration that many attempts to inform and empower aspiring apprentices were lacking. So, when Farrukh came to me with his vision, I saw an opportunity for change. I'm focused on expanding the platform's presence and ensuring that every young professional has access to the opportunities they need to succeed — because no one should miss out due to a lack of visibility.

As a friend of both founders, I really connected with their vision and saw firsthand how challenging the apprenticeship application process can be. I joined the team because I genuinely believe in what they're building, and I wanted to use my experience in development and operations to help turn that vision into reality.

Having been through the apprenticeship application process, I know how frustrating and unclear it can be. I joined ApprenticeWatch to help fix that. I’ve secured degree apprenticeships with Siemens, Airbus and HSBC, so I understand what applicants are up against. I’m glad to help build something that supports students at every step.

Having been through ambassador programmes that felt more like box-ticking exercises than real opportunities, I’ve seen where things often go wrong — poor communication, limited support, and a lack of real purpose. I joined ApprenticeWatch because I know what needs to change, and I’m passionate about building a programme that genuinely empowers students and delivers real value at every step.

ApprenticeWatch stands out from other similar websites by actively engaging with users for feedback and also have a map-view feature to see all apprenticeships across UK in a different format. That's why I decided to become an Ambassador. They're unique and simply better.

I chose ApprenticeWatch because it offered a more personalized and transparent approach to finding apprenticeships compared to other platforms. What made it stand out was its detailed reviews from past apprentices, giving real insight into company culture, expectations, and growth opportunities. Unlike generic job boards, ApprenticeWatch felt tailored to people genuinely seeking to learn and grow, not just fill a role. It gave me the confidence to apply to programs that truly matched my goals and values.
