Somerset Conservatives are celebrating the positive impacts of the County Council apprenticeship programme as part of National Apprenticeship Week (February 7 to 13).
The Conservative-run Council is a strong advocate for apprenticeships and helps to ensure Somerset Care Leavers and those with SEND backgrounds have access to apprenticeship opportunities within our teams.
On National Apprenticeship Week, the Council is recognising the contribution these apprentices make and is reminding young people of the various entry routes available including apprenticeships, traineeships, and work experience.
Cllr Mandy Chilcott, Somerset County Council Cabinet Member for Resources, added: “Apprenticeships are a valuable way for young people to develop skills and gain valuable work experience at the same time, and we are delighted to see our young apprentices going from strength to strength.
