More students taking on apprenticeship courses

Interest in people doing apprenticeships on Manx shores is increasing, according to University College Isle of Man (UCM).

UCM says the number of students on apprenticeship programmes there has grown by 11 per cent, compared to the last academic year.

The college will be taking part in this year's Apprenticeship Week which runs from today until Sunday (February 14) by celebrating the achievements of their students on its social media channels.

Meanwhile, anyone considering joining an apprenticeship course is being invited to attend a UCM Information Morning on Saturday, February 27 from 9.30am to 12.30pm - more details are available on the UCM website.
