Jamie Henry found out about the apprenticeships through a family friend

The Conservatives have criticised a government website set up to find apprenticeships for young people. They claim the site, which is fronted by Alan Sugar, has found hardly any posts for the jobless. 16-year-old Jamie Henry found an apprenticeship through the website. He says he found out about the site after a family friend told him about it.
