Cash prizes for employers who train

New practical learning charity Edge has launched a nationwide search for employers who provide the very best practical training for young people. Edge will reward £460,000 in cash prizes to employers across the nation who can demonstrate how they offer excellent work-related learning opportunities for 14-25 year olds. The Edge Employer Awards are open to all employers in England, large and small, public, private and voluntary. A condition of entry is that the prize winnings must be reinvested back into workrelated learning for 14-25 year olds, such as Apprenticeships or work placements. Deadline for entries is Friday 1 July. For further information on how to enter go to www.edgeawards.co.uk, call 0800 980 3343, or email [email protected].
