Presenter and award-winning business journalist Georgie Frost is joined by Mark Donnelly, Head of Apprenticeships and Skills at BAE Systems, and Alison Jackson, Head of HR at Paragon Customer Communications, to talk about apprenticeships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - or STEM for short.
