    Apprenticeships

    If you want to hire an apprentice or help your staff improve their skills so your business runs better, the Apprenticeships programme could be a good option.

    While there isn’t a specific apprenticeship just for green skills at the moment, many programmes include skills linked to green jobs and can help people move into this area.
