Ensuring brighter futures for school leavers and young people is a priority for me.
I have visited local schools to help pass on life skills and experience to pupils. I believe that along with a good education young people should be learning skills that will help them in their future careers.
The Conservative’s apprenticeship scheme has been a huge success. In North Warwickshire & Bedworth nearly 4000 apprentices have been created giving local young people the opportunities, key skills and experience that will help them to get on in life. I have apprentices in my small business and have seen first-hand how useful the initiative is.
I will continue to promote apprentices locally and work with schools to ensure advice and opportunities are available to local children and young people. I will also continue the local Conservative initiative of jobs fairs to bring apprentice opportunities in our area directly to young people.
