 I'm very happy to have the chance to speak to you and say a few words during National Apprenticeship's week and what we're doing here in Wales together with you. Our apprenticeship policy is focused on responding to the changing skills needs of the Welsh economy and Welsh businesses. We're looking to increase skill levels in priority areas, including where we have evidence of shortages. Our vision is to create 125,000 quality apprenticeships which will drive economic growth, generate jobs and support a just and inclusive recovery. We're committed to respond to skills shortages and gaps in priority sectors that are critical to drive productivity and economic growth, to support our net zero ambitions, the foundation economy and public services. We're also committed to prioritising and supporting young people into apprenticeships to ensure that provision offers a clear career pathway and sustained employment, together of course with accelerating the delivery of higher level apprenticeships in STEM and technical areas. Now I know it's the time of you where many are thinking about their next steps after education or through work, whether through work-based learning and that may be the right route for you. The challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic have been unlike any other and as a result perhaps people are thinking you're seeking a career change or looking to retrain and that apprenticeship could be the perfect opportunity. The benefits of apprenticeships are wide-ranging for both the employer and the employee, from bringing in a fresh breath of air to the workforce, to helping with staff retention to positive long-term development and providing opportunities for those who are on their first step into the world of work whilst enabling learning on the job. Apprentices also are key to supporting social mobility, in particular with the rise of opportunities in our flexible and remote working spaces, providing opportunities for those in rural communities, minority groups and from less well-off socioeconomic groups who may previously have felt that schemes like these were out of their reach and did you know that 96% of employers have reported a benefit to their business as a result of taking on an apprentice. 80% of employers feel that apprentices reduce staff turnover and 83% of employers rely on their apprenticeship program to provide the skilled workforce they need now and for the future. And this is why the Welsh Government needs you. We're making up to 50 places available on our next corporate apprenticeship intake that is due to launch in March this year. There are three different pathways of business administration, finance and digital data and a technology pathway. Apprentices run for a period of 18 months supporting apprentices to attain a level 3 NVQ qualification in the relevant discipline in an environment which supports and enables work-based learning. If you want to find out more please check out the Welsh Government apprentices web page and we look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.
