The Transport Planning Technician Apprenticeship scheme is launching this week and TPS has made the following contribution to the welcome pack:

"The Transport Planning Society is very pleased to have been involved in the development of this important skills initiative.  The Transport Planning Technician Apprenticeship is a challenging and ambitious programme of academic study and work based skills development aimed at attracting talented young people into a career as a transport planner. It will provide an excellent grounding for anyone, whatever their background, entering the profession, and is completely compatible with the industry standard TPS Professional Development Scheme, which provides the next step for those who are keen to progress towards a professional qualification as part of their longer term career plan.  The Society is committed to continue its support for this apprenticeship, and promoting its benefits amongst its membership and beyond"
