Welcome to National Apprenticeship Week!

It's the 14th annual National Apprenticeship Week, an event which celebrates apprenticeships and champions the incredible opportunities on offer. And in the first of three bitesize episodes to be released during the week, Georgie Frost chats to Karen Woodward, the Employer Relations Deputy Director in the government’s apprenticeships directorate, the Education and Skills Funding Agency, to find out what the week is all about and what's coming up.
