"There is no doubt that apprenticeships at all levels provide an excellent return on investment for individuals, employers and the economy.
"Investment in training by employers such as Schrader Electronics is vital to improve the skills levels of our workforce and support local economic growth. I welcome the commitment shown today from both Schrader Electronics and its apprentices to the ApprenticeshipNI training model.
