A new start: National Apprenticeship Week and Robert Halfon MP

Listen on

Episode notes

We are back with season four of All About Apprenticeships, and this time we're sponsored by Checkatrade.com.

And what better way to kick off a new (monthly) series than by talking to the brand new (reappointed) Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education Robert Halfon during the week in the year dedicated to all things apprenticeships - National Apprenticeship Week.

Mr Halfon tells host Georgie Frost how he plans to ‘build and apprenticeships and skills nation', what ignited his passion for apprenticeships and why 'degree apprenticeship' are his two favourite words. 

You can find Checkatrade’s brand new apprenticeship and skills channel Home - About Apprenticeships and while you're there, you can also check out our Jobs Board to find an apprenticeship that’s perfect for you.
