National Apprenticeship Week

This week (1 st to 5 th February 2010) is National Apprenticeship Week.The week, which is organised by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS), aims to celebrate the talents and skills of apprentices and recognise their employers. The Government aims to increase the number of apprenticeships available in the future, seeing it as a crucial way of reducing the proportion of 16- to 18-year-olds not in education, employment or training (NEETs).  The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has said: we will continue to expand apprenticeships with the ambitious goal that within the next 10 years, one in five young people should be able to take up an apprenticeship. And we are committed to providing an apprenticeship place for every suitably qualified 16-18 year old from 2013 and increasing the number of advanced apprenticeships so that those in vocational learning have clear routes to progress in their careers
