County Durham Apprenticeship Programme

The County Durham Apprenticeship Programme was launched on Friday 4th November 2011 and signals the start of an initiative which will encourage small and medium sized business to take on young unemployed people across the county, for a minimum of two years. 

The initiative is funded by Durham County Council and the Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) and will predominantly focus on creating up to 130 opportunities within enterprises employing less than 50 staff. However, an element of the scheme will also target opportunities within social enterprises or the community voluntary sector. (This element of the programme includes funding from the CRT).

More information on the programme can be found in the attached brochure.  If you require further guidance, please contact our Business Development Team.
