Activer le mode zenJessica Shepherd
"Employers find apprentices are worth more to their businesses than university graduates, a poll has shown. City & Guilds, which awards qualifications for apprentices, surveyed 500 employers. Half had hired apprentices, and 52% of those employers said they were better value than graduates.
