At NCFE, we see first-hand the benefits Apprenticeships bring to lives of learners, and the opportunities they offer to young people looking to succeed in the workplace.

It’s our hope that this week’s spotlight on Apprenticeships will help inspire more young people to achieve their potential through work based training. What’s more, it should help encourage more business to take on apprentices by providing them with a greater understanding of the value that Apprenticeships can bring to their organisation.

This is particularly pertinent in light of new research by NCFE which has found that although 95% of parents are happy for their child to choose an apprenticeship, 43% of people think that there aren’t enough opportunities for apprenticeships.

This is despite the fact that apprenticeships are the hot topic of the pre-election campaigns, with the Government investing more money into apprenticeships, and an ever increasing demand for more practical and vocationally led courses.

At NCFE we’re committed to helping apprentices achieve their potential. That’s why we’ve developed a wide variety of full and part Apprenticeships at both advanced and intermediate level. What’s more, NCFE Apprenticeships are supported by our award winning customer service which aims to help enhance your Apprenticeship delivery and get the best results for your learners.
