Businesses of all sizes pledged a further 30,000 new apprenticeships during National Apprenticeship Week 2016.

An apprenticeship really can take you anywhere. So whether you’re learning to nurse baby lambs and chicks or getting stuck in on a busy manufacturing line making the nation’s Easter eggs, there’s an apprenticeship out there for everyone.

During the recent National Apprenticeship Week businesses of all sizes pledged a further 30,000 new apprenticeships. These new opportunities will give even more young people across the country a fast-track into a great career with the opportunity to earn while learning on the job.

Skills Minister Nick Boles said:

“Apprenticeships are as varied as the people who do them. Whether you want to be a vet looking after spring lambs, or a chocolatier making Easter eggs, there is an apprenticeship for you.

“We are driving to develop 3 million apprenticeships by 2020 so that people across the country can get stuck-in and build a great career.”
