Chris Ward, Corporate Services Manager of Workforce Training Services said: “Workforce are here for young people thinking about their options going forward. Some young people will decide to stay on at school and others may feel apprenticeships and vocational training are the pathways they want to choose.
“The opportunity young people have today is to tour our premises and chat to our staff to get an idea of what an apprenticeship would look like and what the options that we can give them are going forward. Whatever our young people choose to do, we’ll be here to support them and their decisions for their future.”
