Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP has today welcomed new statistics that show a record number of people in The Cotswolds started apprenticeship in 2011/12. The data also has provisional results for the number of apprenticeship starts in the first quarter of 2012/13 – in August to October 2012 230 people started apprenticeships in just three months.
In the last financial year, 570 people started an apprenticeship in The Cotswolds – an increase of 63 per cent compared to the last year of the Labour Government.
Mr Clifton-Brown commented:
“We will only succeed as a country when everyone is given the chance to reach their full potential. We have dramatically increased the number of apprenticeships on offer compared to the last Labour Government.
“These record levels of apprenticeships are fantastic news for our country, for The Cotswolds, and most of all for the people whose lives are being transformed by the opportunities they offer.”
