Training and study application photos: yes or no?
Photo expectations in Training and study: industry norms, outfit, and what counts in portraits.
A photo is required nowhere – but norms differ. A friendly, neat photo is strongly recommended for apprentice applications.
The industry norm
A friendly, neat photo is strongly recommended for apprentice applications. When in doubt: a good photo never harms, a missing one rarely does. Abroad: no photo for US and UK roles.
The good portrait
- Current: taken this year, looking like day one.
- Bright and sharp: neutral background, friendly gaze.
- Fitting: attire one step above the daily job.
In the editor you toggle the photo per template.
