The Welsh Government is investing £366m over the next three years to deliver 125,000 all-age apprenticeships.
Marking the start of Apprenticeship Week Wales 2022 Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said the investment will support the Welsh Government’s commitment to ensure at least 90% of 16-24 year-olds will be in education, employment, or training by 2050 - as well as eradicating the gap between the employment rate in Wales and the UK.
Mr Gething said: “Skills and qualifications are the biggest single influence on a person’s chance of being in employment, and on them earning a good income and offering a route out of poverty and protection against it.
