£5m Funding Announced For Additional Apprenticeship Places
Deputy Minister for Skills, Jeff Cuthbert, has announced a further £5 million funding for additional apprenticeship places for newly recruited young people aged 16 to 24.
Speaking at the National Training Federation Wales conference in Llandudno the Deputy Minister also set a challenge for the Work Based Learning Network to engage with those employers who do not already offer apprenticeships and find more opportunities for the young people of Wales.
Jeff Cuthbert said: "I am committing this additional £5 million to help those young people who are struggling to find employment at this time.
"We'd love to see a huge demand for apprenticeships in Wales. This is why I am setting the Work Based Learning Network a challenge.
"I challenge them to engage with those employers who are not already providing apprenticeship delivery. I want them to know the benefits of apprenticeships; know that they are at the heart of business effectiveness; they increase the skill set of the nation and they increase the attractiveness of Wales as a place to do business."
