"A million people, young people aren’t working - that’s the most urgent issue for businesses". Steve Holliday, CEO National Grid.

BITC and City & Guilds have teamed-up on a new publication The Value of Apprenticeships, showing how some of the UK’s most successful companies use apprenticeships to drive commercial success.
