YMCA seeking support to increase UK apprenticeship offers
The YMCA is seeking support from both the Government and employers in order to offer more apprenticeship opportunities to thousands across the UK.
The charity launched its new campaign 2,014 in 2014: The YMCA and You today (10 March) at a House of Commons reception in order to support its aims.
The campaign is seeking to help YMCA Training secure 2,014 apprenticeship places, with the group looking for increased support from employers from a range of different sectors by the end of the year.
The group also has a wider aim of raising the profile of apprenticeships amongst individuals, young people, teachers and parents, following on from National Apprenticeships Week.
YMCA hopes to reinforce the message that apprenticeships provide a vocational route in to skilled work, with benefits for both learners and employers.
“We know that apprenticeships work, with palpable, long-term benefits for apprentices and employers,” said Rosi Prescott, Chief Executive of Central YMCA. “Through this event, and through working hand-in-hand with employers, Government and would-be apprentices, we hope to play our part in making 2014 the year of the apprentice.”
YMCA looks to improve the lives and opportunities of younger people through the use of education and training activities across a range of sectors.
