Who is the course for?

Young people who would like to get paid for work while training in their chosen career sector

Young people who can work independently on job search and updating CVs with minimal supervision

We are especially keen to encourage young people from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds (BME) to come along as people from these backgrounds are particularly underrepresented in Modern Apprenticeships.
