What are we asking employers?
Quite simply, we want businesses across Shropshire – big and small – to take on one or more apprentice. The Ladder can offer impartial advice.
Why are we doing this?
Youth unemployment has doubled since the beginning of 2020 and the number of apprenticeships on offer is almost 50 per cent lower than this time last year, so we are eager to encourage businesses.
