Training 2000 marks rise in apprenticeship vacancies

Blackburn-based Training 2000 has reported an increase in apprenticeship vacancies and is urging young people to apply for the opportunities available locally.

With 11 vacancies available at Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and others at various businesses across East Lancashire, Training 2000 is holding a drop in session on Monday 16 June between 9am and 4pm to provide advice, tip and help with application forms.

“It requires all young people in England to continue in education or training until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17. This doesn’t mean staying at school as the only option, this age restriction is rising to 18 in August, so it’s important that young people know the options available to them.
