Not Going to Uni (NGTU) is the UK's leading site for young people considering alternatives to university. It lists thousands of live apprenticeship vacancies, school-leaver programmes and sponsored degrees, searchable by industry, level and location.
Beyond vacancies, the site is packed with honest content: real stories from apprentices and school leavers explaining why they chose their route, guides to pay and conditions, and advice on writing applications and preparing for interviews. Employers post directly, so young people can apply straight from the site.
For families where university feels like the only conversation, NGTU shows that skilled trade and technical routes are first-class choices, with dozens of well-known employers recruiting apprentices every year.
