The NHS will create 100,000 apprenticeships – almost 7 times the current number – across the country by 2020, offering opportunities to thousands of young people who want a career in the health sector.

This commitment follows the launch of the government consultation to make 2.3% of workers in large public sector bodies apprentices. The roles will be created in a range of areas within the NHS, including:

nursing and healthcare assistants
IT, estates and facilities
domestic and housekeeping services
business administration and accounting
