Apprenticeships?
Work for us !
Apprenticeships and traineeships are flagship programmes in the skills policy agenda but there is one cohort of potential apprentices who are missing out - people with learning disabilities.
The Twisting Ducks theatre Company has addressed this gap. And have produced a film-based toolkit
to raise awareness
about the benefits of apprenticeships and traineeshipsfor learners with learning disabilities.
"It's interesting to see how the programme is working so strongly for the benefit of both the employee and employer"
