Stephen Williams MP with some of the young apprentices

To mark National Apprentice Week, local MP Stephen Williams met a large group of young apprentices and college students to talk about the importance of skills. Mr Williams who is also the Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary if State for Innovation, Universities and Skills, told the youngsters that if Britain was to prosper beyond the recession it would need a highly skilled workforce. He particularly encouraged them to look at training to be an engineer in order to help build the low carbon economy that Britain will need in order to tackle climate change.

The event, held at '@Bristol', was organised by the National Apprentice Service and The Edge Learner Forum. It was attended by almost a hundred Bristol teenagers and was supported by local employers and further education colleges, including City of Bristol College, one of the country's largest trainer of apprentices.

    If you are a resident of the Bristol West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
