Prime minister visits System Training

Prime minister David Cameron visited System Training's headquarters in Carlisle today and met some of System Training's motor vehicle apprentices.

The prime minister also spoke with Eddie Stobart logistics apprentices - part of a industry coalition where System Training has partnered with the well-known logistics provider to deliver an apprenticeship programme.

Talking to the apprentices, David Cameron, said: "It's great to be here this morning because what you do really matters. There's no more pressing job facing this country than building a growing, balanced and modern economy that can create worthwhile jobs for our people. And what you are learning, and teaching, here today is vital to achieving that."

Mr Cameron took the opportunity to meet with System Training's chief executive Robin Brown and director of learning Tony Higgins to share views on the benefits of apprenticeship programmes and detail the government's commitment to vocational training.

System Training chief executive Robin Brown said: "We are delighted that System Training has been chosen to represent apprenticeship providers in the area and have our results and achievements within apprenticeship delivery acknowledged by the Prime Minister.

"We all share a passion for apprenticeships and it's great to hear the government confirm their commitment to apprenticeships and training for our young people."
