Co-operative Group announces 800 apprenticeships
03 February 2012
The Co-operative Group has announced it is doubling its intake of apprentices for 2012.
The Co-operative Group has increased its apprenticeship offer to 800 - double the number of apprentices it took on in 2011. The Group aims to provide 2,000 apprenticeships for young people by 2014.
The 800 apprenticeships on offer in 2012 will be available across the UK and apprentices will work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Apprenticeships will be based within one of the Co-operative's businesses which range from food, pharmacy and motors, to legal and financial services and farming, as well as corporate functions such as IT and HR. This year will also see the launch of the UK's first ever funeral industry apprenticeship.
This is great news to herald the start of National Apprenticeship Week (6th-10th February 2012).
