The Apprentice


I'm still pursuing my project about raising aspirations for children and young people, so today we have a photocall. Kier Harlow, who provide environmental, street scene and housing repairs for the council, have just taken on ten new apprentices.

They're the first apprentices for many, many years to be taken on for council work, so there's an air of excitement not just among the apprentices themselves, who started work three weeks ago, but among the older tradesmen too. And it's good to see several young women as well as young men in the contingent.
