A few words with the PM on apprenticeships
The Prime Minister welcomes young Apprentices to Number 10
The Prime Minister detailed proposals to increase the number of Apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds to 90,000 by 2013. The new measures to expand Apprenticeships include: action to make it easier for employers to improve the range of Apprenticeships by enabling them to include their own accredited qualifications; a pilot wage subsidy programme for small businesses; and a new drive to increase Apprenticeships in the public sector.
Recently the Prime Minister welcomed four Apprentices, winners of the Learning and Skills Council’s Apprenticeship Awards, to Downing Street to learn about their experiences and to find out how their training has helped them in their chosen careers.
