A Day in the Life: Apprenticeships in Local Government

Make a difference
work for your local council

Discover how apprentices are really making a difference where they live, learning on the job and kickstarting exciting careers. If you’re passionate about making a real difference, local government is the place to be.

Right now, local councils are evolving – with greater powers and responsibilities being devolved to local areas. That means more opportunities to shape the services that matter most, from housing and transport to jobs and climate action.

It’s a time of big change and bold thinking, and local government needs young people with fresh ideas to help tackle challenges and create new solutions for local communities.

There’s never been a more exciting moment to join and help shape the future of local public services, right where you live.
