  • Promote co-operative working across the education, business and learning community to ensure that their Apprentice Town Vision is realised.
  • Celebrate Apprenticeship success in Chesterfield through ensuring positive stories are shared. This should include the success of the apprentice as well as the positive impact on the business
  • Empower, prepare and encourage young people to attend and participate in any apprenticeship events delivered locally.
