Oxford Brookes University - Skills for work

An apprenticeship scheme has been set up by Oxford Brookes University that will give six young people experience in horticulture, catering, decorating and administration. The apprentices will also receive training through the university's further education partners, Abingdon and Witney College and Oxford and Cherwell Valley College. The scheme follows the Government's recent pledge to provide extra apprenticeships to help young people gain employment during the recession.
