The LSC is in the process of rolling out the Young Apprentice programme. They were announced by Gordon Brown in 2004 who stated:

“This will be an exciting prospect for any pupil wanting to pursue industry specific vocational programmes on top of the core national curriculum…

They will be a high quality opportunity for motivated pupils who could spend up to two days a week in the workplace learning a trade. Initial opportunities will be in engineering, automotive industries, business administration, logistics, and the arts and creative industries”
