Could you grow your own talent?!
As of the 20th August, the government launched 40 new apprenticeships in England as part of a drive to increase the number of young people joining a skills-based career route.
In fact, government figures reveal that more and more school-leavers are turning away from college and university study in a bid to join the work force, learn new skills and earn a wage. Some 50,000 teenagers went into a work-based training course in the 12 months to March 2014 compared with less than 42,000 in the previous 12 months.
