KEY Training Services are part of Kent County Council and specialise in offering work-based training . KTS can provide information to those wanting to gain skills and boost their confidence in the work place rather than the classroom.

Apprenticeships and work-based training offer excellent opportunities for young people to earn money, gain skills and find their career direction.

Stephen Jeffery is 18 and he is a Kent Success Apprentice who is working as a Business Support Assistant said: "I knew I didn't want to stay on at school, so taking part in an Apprenticeship was the best way to get a qualification, learn new skills… and get paid at the same time! For me it was the best of both worlds."

KEY's Head of Service, Mark Easton said: "When we're starting out in the working world we won't all want the same things, for some people more school, or even college just aren't the right options. This week is an excellent opportunity for young people who want to find a different direction and take control of their career with an apprenticeship or work-based training."
