New free Apprenticeships resources for teachers

Most young people think of Sir Alan Sugar when they hear the word Apprentice but we want to help young people understand what real Apprenticeships are about. The National Apprenticeship Service reports that young people are often not aware of apprentice opportunities, so it is making new free careers information resources available to schools and colleges through the charity, the Education and Employers Taskforce.

Packs, which headteachers union ASCL helped to develop, include materials designed for pupils, parents and teaching staff (lesson plans, workbooks, brochures, posters, guides etc).

For a free pack, email apprenticeships@educationandemployers.org or call 0203 206 0510 by 17 May.
