Summary
Apprenticeships allow you to earn money as you study for qualifications and gain practical experience on the job.
There's a wide range of careers and industries to choose from but a recent Ofsted report said that 10% of apprenticeships are inadequate, so how do you find a good quality scheme to help you develop the skills you need to succeed?
On Wednesday's programme Adam Shaw speaks to apprentices and employers about their experiences and ambitions and we'd love to hear from you too.
If you're interested in becoming an apprentice or you're an employer who'd like to hire apprentices e-mail [email protected] now.
