Anyone can access courses at any level and can complete modules individually - there are very high completion rates and courses are affordable with flexible payment options

5. Youth Justice Apprenticeship
A Higher Trailblazer Apprenticeship is being developed and will be submitted to the Dept for Business, Innovation and Skills for accreditation
Employers pay a compulsory levy for Apprenticeships so some of the training costs for the YJPF/YJ Degree can be recouped
Apprentices would be employed in a YJ team for a minimum of 2 years - 4 days working to develop their skills and experience and the 5th day for study
Exploration of a positive action programme to support under-represented groups (BAME/ex service users) into Apprenticeships – partnering with Elevation Networks
