As National Apprenticeship Week (#NAW2024) comes to an end we’ve all hopefully learnt a little bit more about the value of apprenticeships and the opportunities they can open up.
And although we welcome the chance to really focus on apprenticeships, NAW2024 is just one week in the year, and we need to find information on apprenticeships all year round. So here’s a quick round up of some useful online resources that focus on apprenticeships.
