Independent guidance for your next step

For employers

Reach motivated young apprentices — the right way.

Draft: this page is being finalised and is pending formal review. The information here reflects our current approach; if anything is unclear contact us and we'll help.

How it works

Vacancies on NextStep UK come directly from the official GOV.UK Find an apprenticeship service. If you already publish there, your vacancy will already appear — nothing extra to do.

Why publish on GOV.UK?

  • It is the free, official channel for apprenticeship vacancies in England.
  • Vacancies reach every downstream service (including NextStep UK) automatically.
  • Young people trust the source — which means better-matched applicants.
