How To Be a Themis Apprentice

Apply online at burnley.ac.uk/themis or in person. You will be contacted by us to help you take the first step onto the career ladder and be invited for interview.

First Interview

At the first interview with a Themis Trainer, a specialist in your chosen industry, you’re expected to show us you are:

Smartly presented Punctual Able to explain why you want to be a Themis Apprentice Keen to talk about your ideal career

If you are successful at the first interview, you’ll be given advice on what areas you need to work on and research, before being invited in for a second interview with a Themis Trainer.

Second Interview

At the second interview, you’re expected to show us you are:

Ready to talk confidently about why a Themis Apprenticeship is for you and fully understand the commitment involved Able to talk knowledgeably and passionately about your ideal career Smartly presented Punctual

Documentation

You will be asked to submit the below documents ahead of your second interview:

A completed CV Your predicted GCSE Grades Your latest school report A reference from an Employer (if you have a job in your spare time) or school After your second interview, if a Themis Trainer is confident you have what it takes to become a successful Themis Apprentice and #FUTUREBOSS, you will be allocated your own recruitment consultant from the Themis team. They will introduce you to potential Employers with Apprenticeship vacancies and you also need to start looking to secure an employer yourself.

You will also receive your very own Themis portfolio to store all your documents, which will impress at interviews with potential Employers and make you stand out from the crowd.

Themis Toolkit Workshops

However, if, after the second interview, the Themis Trainer feels you would benefit from additional support before meeting Employers, you will have the opportunity to take part in Themis Toolkit workshops to improve your skills:

CV Writing skills Interview skills Confidence to work as part of a team

Once you’ve completed the workshops, you will have another chance to impress a Themis Trainer and show how the Themis Toolkit has helped you improve or will be given advice tailored to your own specific needs on alternative routes to help you achieve your goals, such as a full-time academic course or a traineeship.
