Government quadruples Civil Service apprenticeships

The Government has nearly quadrupled the number of Civil Service apprenticeships available to young people across the UK, with applications for 750 places opening this week.

Young people can now apply for 450 Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeships, including 50 dedicated Cyber Security apprenticeships, and 300 new Operational Delivery Apprenticeships. In total the 750 places available is a significant increase on the 200 places available last year.

The 2015 apprenticeships offer a wider range of opportunities than ever before, with roles in departments across the country, ranging from the Department for Work and Pensions in Dundee to HM Revenue & Customs in Hastings. Successful applicants will gain valuable work experience and a certified qualification, while being paid a competitive salary.
