Apprenticeship week takes place from the 23rd until the 27th February  and to mark this occasion Skills for Care is involved with a series of event across all 9 regions. Generically, country wide, the Learning Skills Council (LSC) and all of the sector skills councils/bodies are promoting Apprenticeships across pre and post 16 routes.

To celebrate apprenticeships and showcase the excellent work from across the country we have put together an apprenticeship newsletter
