Colchester Apprenticeship Boost

December 20, 2011 1:58 PM

A 76 per cent increase in the number of people on apprenticeships in Colchester has been welcomed by Town MP Bob Russell.

The figure for the last financial year was 830, up from 470 in the previous year.

Earlier this month Deputy Prime Minister Mr Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, visited the Colchester Institute to further promote the
Coalition Government's apprenticeship programme.

Mr Russell said: "We all acknowledge that these are challenging times, particularly for youth unemployment, so it is a tribute to local employers
and others that they have embraced the Coalition Government's measures to boost the number of apprenticeships. This gives encouragement for the future."

    If you are a resident of the Colchester constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
