Unionlearn welcomes Apprenticeships Week

Commenting on the launch of Apprenticeships* Week today (February 1), Tom Wilson, Director of unionlearn said: 'Unionlearn welcomes the celebration of apprenticeships this week and urges employers to use the £2,500 Government grants for 16 and 17 years olds to be taken on to the scheme. The TUC is working with employers to ensure that these are robust qualifications that lead to real jobs and pay fair wages. Unionlearn trains reps in the workforce to support and mentor apprentices during their training.'
