Apprenticeships are a source of development opportunities for staff and residents to both earn and learn, helping entry into careers and progression in the workforce. The strategy formalises the council’s approach and sets commitments for the coming 3 years, supporting quality employment opportunities for its residents, and supporting the Council’s workforce development priorities.
