Young job seekers advised to try apprenticeships

Young people in search of a job are being advised by Buckinghamshire Adult Learning to try an apprenticeship.

Zena Sutcliffe, Learning Services Manager for Buckinghamshire Adult Learning, said: “Lots of people looking for a first job in the industry of their choice find it difficult to initially break in and may end up frustrated as a result, but they often overlook the apprenticeship route.

“One business apprentice from a Bucks school summed it up perfectly by saying: ‘You work, you learn, and most importantly, you get paid’.

“We do hope more and more people will latch on to this message and realise the life-long benefits that apprenticeships can bring them.”
