The scheme will provide paid employment opportunities for six apprentices alongside structured training and learning to promote long-term career development.

It aims to widen its talent pool by offering an alternative route into work for pupils who do not want to attend university.

The programme will also seek to increase the diversity of the workforce by recruiting people from a wider range of backgrounds.
