FOR A long time it seemed that apprenticeships may be consigned to history but in Thurrock they are now at the fulcrum of the regeneration agenda. If the borough is to thrive then it is the development of apprenticeship schemes that will enhance the skills base in the borough.
YT went to Petroplus in Coryton to interview apprentice Chris Young and ask how important is the apprentice scheme to him; why did he choose it over university and what support does he gain from the company.
Tomorrow a host of companies gather together at the Park Inn as part of National Apprenticeship week. YT will be spotlighting the campaign throughout the week.
