Are Vocational CoursesAnswer to Youth Unemployment?

Not all job sectors have suffered unemployment equally, and one of the least hit job sectors has been the trades such as electricians and plumbers.

Compared to increasingly expensive university degrees, vocational courses with their emphasis on practical skills and work experience are a cost-effective option that is proving attractive to many.

What are Vocational Training schemes?

Vocational training courses can be taken in a wide range of job-related areas, including:

· Electrician Training · Law · Teaching · Nursing

Apprenticeships offer training alongside actually working on the job, meaning you gain vital work experience whilst learning simultaneously.

Other vocational schemes are center-based and teach skills that lead towards specific industry-required qualifications .

Jobs and trades such as electrical work, plumbing and gas fitting, are essential to any world economy and likely to be in demand for as long as people continue to inhabit houses.
