Apprenticeships

If you’re the parent, guardian, or role model of a young person who is just starting out on their career journey the apprenticeship guide accessed via the link below to the is a great place to start.

We all want the best for the next generation. We also know that understanding the wide range of choices that are available can be challenging, and this can be a real stumbling block when trying to discuss the options open to those leaving school or college.

This link directs you to information that  is specifically about apprenticeships. In recent years, there have been many changes to the way in which apprenticeships work, and the range of occupations they cover.
