Councillor Janet Battye, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Education and Skills at Westmorland and Furness Council, said: “Apprenticeships offer a really good way to earn while you learn, and many of our apprentices go on to secure permanent roles and further training.
“Since becoming a new council in April 2023, we’ve already welcomed over 100 apprentices, almost all of whom are from the local area.
“Our mission is to ensure that people of all ages are equipped with the skills and support they need to pursue the life they want and access meaningful local employment opportunities.”
Battye added: “We want to help everyone unlock their potential – whether they are just starting out or looking to advance their career, we have something for everyone.”
