Local MP Mary Macleod has marked National Apprenticeship Week by encouraging local businesses to take on more apprentices.

Mary invited local businesses and apprentices to an Apprenticeship Forum in Chiswick to discuss their experiences and encourage other organisations to consider an apprenticeship scheme. “Locally apprenticeships have doubled in the last year, but we can still go further.  We have a fantastic cross section of businesses in this area that would benefit from apprentices who can make a real difference and add value to their business.  This can also transform the lives of the apprentices themselves, giving them the opportunity to build skills and experience for the future.”
