High Peak Liberal DemocratsMore than 3000 people were on an apprenticeship last year in Stockport thanks to the Liberal Democrats, final figures reveal. That is an increase of 74% compared to the last year of Labour's government.
Local MP says these figures are a big boost for apprenticeships and young people in Stockport, which came as National Apprenticeship Week was underway, which aims to raise awareness and celebrate the successes of the apprenticeship scheme.
Commenting, Andrew Stunell MP said:
"Apprenticeships are a brilliant way for young people to learn the skills and get the experience necessary for a successful career."
"Liberal Democrats in the Coalition Government have promoted and invested heavily in apprenticeships because they are one of the most effective ways of helping young people get jobs. Apprenticeships also allow us to build a stronger economy, with a highly-skilled and flexible workforce."
"Apprenticeships rely on employers making opportunities available. That's why I have been working with businesses in Stockport to offer more places for apprentices available."
