Mitchell’s company employs 450 people and provides apprenticeships to young workers joining its ranks, and works with the local community college system to help train up students to be able work on a factory floor.

Lola Marshall, 17, hopes to do an apprenticeship after her health and social care extended diploma at Leeds City College, and said there wasn't enough discussion about vocational routes at school.

"Additional funding for apprenticeships and opportunities for young people are crucial too if the UK is to have a bright and clean energy future," she added.

There are different rates of pay for apprentices depending on your age and what stage of your apprenticeship you are in.
