Government should help apprentices says YWCA
YWCA has commented on how the government can help apprentices who have lost their jobs due to the recession in the latest issue of Children and Young People Now magazine.
YWCA said: "Employers must take a long-term approach and retain apprentices. They must pay them at least the minimum wage - the majority of the lowest-paid apprentices are young women and some receive less than this."
For more information read our policy statements and information sheets on apprenticeships.
