Breakthrough Apprenticeships

The Breakthrough Apprenticeship scheme is a unique approach to helping talented young people who might be otherwise overlooked for in their search for work.
Its primary aim is to assist young people to achieve economic well-being and focus on the competencies which will accelerate their transformation from perhaps being disengaged, disappointed or exlcuded young people, into committed and valuable employees.

Breakthrough Apprenticeships can be offered as a stand alone scheme or offered as an add-on to the Say Yes Challenge, where young people can be offered the opportunity to put their newly discovered skills to the test within the workplace of participating companies.
