Welcome to a new year and a new blog from the Hastings Apprenticeship Initiative. We are very excited to announce our 100 Apprenticeships in 100 days Campaign!
As you may have already guessed the aim of the campaign is for Hastings to get 100 apprenticeship starts or pledges in 100 days. We will be working with a number of training providers to encourage sign-ups by local businesses and also working closely with the National Apprenticeship Service who will be offering practical help and advice with the benefit of their wealth of experience.
We will be launching the 100 Campaign on the 6th February between 12 and 2pm in the Council Chambers at the Town Hall with Council Leader Jeremy Birch encouraging local businesses to pledge their support. Our training providers will be attending the event so you are welcome to pledge or sign up on the day.
Look out for our 8 page supplement and weekly updates in the Observer and check back here to see how the 100 campaign is progressing. With young people getting the training for a career and a recognised qualification while at the same time earning a wage, we hope the campaign will be a huge success and benefit young people and local businesses alike.
So as you can see that we have started the New Year with a bang to make sure 2012 will be a great year for apprenticeships!
