As part of the Government’s plan to bridge the skills gap, Apprenticeship programmes are becoming more popular within the Health and Social Care sector.

For the employer, it is an opportunity to create a skilled and highly motivated worker as part of their team.
Advance Care Training, in partnership with South Nottingham College, is offering people from the age of 16 the chance to sign up to the programme to help shape the future workers within this sector.
