Young people in Tower Hamlets' can apply for an opportunity on the Mayor's 12-month Apprenticeship Programme.

Apprentices work towards an NVQ Level 2 in Business and Administration, and are paid to work 30 hours per week in departments across the council.
Applicants must live in the borough and be aged between 16 and 26 years old. They must have a grade ‘D’ or above in GCSE English and grade ‘E’ or above in GCSE Maths.
