Apprenticeships could soon be same status as degrees

From Afternoons, 1:17 pm on 23 September 2019

Apprenticeships can take just as long, and be just as demanding, as a university degree but are seen - officially - as much lower on the qualification scale. 

Industry training organisations are trying to change that - making trade certificates the same status as a diploma or even a degree. 

Warwick Quinn is the chief executive of the Business and Construction Industry Training Organisation, he is here to tell us why it's important trades are considered the same level as other tertiary courses.
