One hour apprenticeship clinics from 09.30 - 17.00
In January this year Gordon Brown announced plans to fund an extra 35,000 apprenticeships.
"Brown believes that, facing a global economic slowdown, this is the time to increase, not reduce, skills and training, to provide real help and support during this difficult period and to train our young people for the jobs of the future and to make us better equipped to benefit from the downturn," Downing Street said.(7.1.0,9 The Times).
In the longer term it is anticipated that by 2020 1 in 5 young people will be in apprenticeships.
