With the fight for a place at University getting more competitive, and jobs becoming harder to find, hundreds of teenagers in North Somerset are signing up for apprenticeships!

Over 2 hundred and fifty youngsters have signed on to Bridgewater Colleges' latest scheme to recruit 100 apprentices in 100 days - that's well over half their target in just 50 days!

Would-be apprentices will get the chance to meet local business employers later this month at a recruitment fair at the College.

Andy Berry's Head of Employment Engagement at Bridgewater - he says the response has been incredible.
