Around 1,000 new apprenticeship vacancies for people of all ages across Wales are available this summer.
The vacancies, which will be posted on the Apprenticeship Matching Service on the Careers Wales website throughout the summer, will offer young people and adults the chance to secure a career in a variety of sectors.
The Apprenticeship Programme in Wales is funded by the Welsh Government with support from the European Social Fund.
Minister for Skills and Science, Julie James AM, said: “Apprenticeships are the start of an exciting and rewarding career and can benefit anyone of any age, giving them an opportunity to gain practical, on the job experience while gaining all the skills and qualifications they need.”
The Welsh Government’s apprenticeship programme has been backed by the most recent winner of TV’s The Apprentice.
Alana Spencer, who received a £250,000 investment for her baking business from Lord Sugar, said: “Apprenticeships have so many great benefits and allow young people to kick-start a career in a field they love, while also gaining some fantastic experience and industry relevant skills and qualifications that will help them to progress their career in the future.”
