Skill up London offeres a range of Apprenticeship Programmes including Business & Administration, Community Justice, Health & Social Care, IT, Customer Service, AAT.
"It's very beneficial for employers because they are training people in their own ways, so if there is a job available at the end of the programme the apprentice stands a very good chance of permanent employment" Diana Hone, Apprenticeship Contract Manager.
