Apprenticeships update


The Youth Connexions website has lots of useful information about Apprenticeship opportunities in the local area. For example, it lists Apprenticeship opportunities for school leavers in companies such as Tesco, GlaxoSmithKline; accountancy firms, including KPMG and Deloitte and engineering. These schemes range from sponsored degrees and higher apprenticeships to trainee management programmes and they are suitable for those that have studied A levels or Level 3 qualifications. They can be found here in the jobseekers section of the new Youth Connexions website. Applications are open now for some of these schemes.
