With recent Government figures showing that the number of apprenticeship starts in London increased by 30 per cent in 2008, the TUC has today (Tuesday) published a new guide for unions to encourage more employers to take on apprentices.
The TUC guide – Apprenticeships are Union Business – will be launched at an event hosted by unionlearn – the learning and skills arm of the TUC – and the Apprenticeship Ambassadors Network at TUC Headquarters in London later today.
