The Apprenticeships For All programme is actively promoting apprenticeship uptake by young people from
black and minority ethnic communities in three regions in South East
England. Each region is coordinated by a dedicated project worker.
Our project workers are available
to provide guidance and support, as well as discussing any
issues relating to Apprenticeships, with young people and their parents, as well as local employers who are currently
offering apprenticeship opportunities or those who may be interested in doing so.
