Employers and Public Sector to Create 10,000 Apprenticeship Places
At least 10,000 apprenticeships will be created in spite of the contraction in the economy, as the bill which launched the National Apprenticeship Service was announced last week by John Denham and Ed Balls. New Government commitments on procurement are expected to see upwards of 7,000 new apprenticeships in construction, while high street giants released plans for large-scale increases in the numbers of apprenticeships they offer.
Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Superdrug and Phones 4u have committed to expand massively their numbers of apprentices, to ensure they have the right skills to stay ahead of the competition.
