Major expansion of apprenticeships

28 January 2008

Gordon Brown has set out plans to enable a major expansion of apprenticeships which, alongside tough new reforms of welfare policies to encourage the inactive to get new skills, will help equip Britain for the challenges of the future.

Speaking to a conference of business leaders in London, Mr Brown said he wanted to create ‘a Britain of opportunity’ where everyone can make the most of their talents.
