What is the scheme?

Are you an organisation that wants to develop your current workforce? Or an individual that’s looking for new opportunities, with no cost? The Urdd are proud to provide Welsh medium or bilingual training for organisations across Wales through its Apprenticeship Scheme funded by the Welsh Government. Staff could undertake an apprenticeship whilst continuing with their current duties and the organisation would benefit from the additional skills.
