PEOPLE of all ages who may be out of work or looking to start or change career will soon be able to apply for five apprenticeship roles across Havant Borough and East Hampshire district councils.

The jobs available are in a range of council services, offering exciting opportunities to learn new skills and expand knowledge in a working environment.

They include working with teams covering the Bordon eco-town project, coastal partnership, economic development, operations technicians, transport and implementation, parking and traffic management, and arboriculture.

Tim Slater, executive head for economies and communities, said: "We are delighted to offer these apprenticeship roles. We hope it will encourage local businesses to get involved and offer apprenticeship opportunities for local people too."
