Test Valley Borough Council’s apprentices have been out and about across the borough in support of National Apprenticeship Week 2020.

This week has seen the authority’s seven apprentices promoting campaigns, attending conferences and hosting stalls to help myth-bust about what they do day to day.

Apprentices currently work in the countryside team to help protect and promote the borough’s green spaces and in the council’s estates team, looking after some of the most iconic buildings. The council also employ apprentices in the customer services team, environmental services and IT.

Apprenticeships provide a great opportunity to gain valuable work experience while studying for a recognised qualification. The council provides apprentices with a supportive environment to develop key skills and experience ready for their future careers.

Daisy Kennard, TVBC’s Countryside Apprentice said: “Apprenticeships introduce you into working life in a positive way, helping develop skills and knowledge on your chosen area as well as your own personal skills. Every day is different, there is rarely a time that I’m doing the same thing every day!”
