You will also attend one of training centres for a further 2 days per week. We have centres in Crewe, Burslem (Stoke-on-Trent), Macclesfield and Telford so you would come to the one closest to where you live.

The programme has been running for over 12 months and has been very successful with a lot of individuals going on to start an Apprenticeship.
Programme Manager Gaynor Holland says, "We have worked with the local Connexions offices promoting all of the various Pathways programmes throughout the different areas and the response has been fantastic. Pathways is a great way for young people to kick start their careers and to get a taste of what an Apprenticeship is like."
