Commenting on Apprenticeship Week Antony Higginbotham MP said:
I'm absolutely passionate about apprenticeships and so as 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 comes to an end I want to say a huge congratulations to every apprentice we have in Burnley and Padiham! And to Will at Paradigm Precision who is currently undertaking his apprenticeship.
For years there's been too much of a push for university, which whilst great for some, doesn't work for all.
And is why Government is right to change UCAS so it now advertises both university degrees and apprenticeships. Because placing both on an equal footing ensures that our young people have all the options presented to them!
