Apprenticeships genuinely equip entrants to the trading standards profession with the skills and knowledge they need to do a great job.

Richard Strawson, Head of Trading Standards at Hampshire County Council

Our apprentices vary in age from 19 to mid-50s. We see employers recruiting new younger staff and also retraining older workers and giving them new career opportunities too. One recent trend is an increase in the ethnic diversity of apprentices, with those identifying as in an ethnic minority group growing from 11% to 22%.
