APPRENTICESHIPS IN STEM
Youthforce is a leading UK apprenticeship training provider dedicated to the development of skills and knowledge across the UK
The Apprenticeships we offer

Laboratory technicians work in a wide range of organisations. A laboratory technician may carry out both routine and one-off laboratory testing and perform a variety of technical support functions across the organisation.

Laboratory Technicians play a crucial role

Business administrators play a vital role in any organisation, big or small. They help to facilitate and enhance the efficiency of a company, working across teams and interacting with internal staff and external customers alike.

An Infrastructure Technician apprentice provides first and second line IT support to internal and external clients. They use technology to problem solve and troubleshoot common and non-routine issues efficiently.

Success Stories
“The Youthforce team saw the potential in me, and have helped me throughout my whole apprenticeship. They have all supported me not just educationally, they have also taught me a lot of life skills that I didn’t know I needed to work on. I am now a more confident and professional person and a fully qualified materials technician with Balfour Beatty. Amazing support and an amazing opportunity, can’t thank the team enough. Apprenticeships are the way forward and these guys are second to none.”
“The training delivered by Youthforce has been very good and I am very happy with the training thus far. This has been demonstrated through my assignments which I have done really well in. I am happy that Youthforce is supporting me in my level 3 laboratory technician apprenticeship and I am confident I will continue to do well”
“I have always been a strong believer in apprenticeships, for a short while I went to university after college to study interactive media, I personally felt that I was not educated about apprenticeships when I was about to leave college. I feel so happy now to see all of the TV advertisements and exposure apprenticeships are getting these days for the younger generation so that they know there are other options rather than going straight to university or going straight into the workplace. I love apprenticeships because I love the fact that you can earn and learn at the same time that to me is so productive. “
