Employers are continuing to develop their workforces by supporting Barnsley College apprentices and students in industry placements during COVID-19.
Candidates applied for roles with Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) by attending online interviews, with the College’s Business Development team helping them prepare, get familiar with the software, and hosting mock interviews.
YAS recruited three candidates as a result and are advertising for two more roles.

Farmer Steve Richardson added: “We have adapted the way we work to maintain social distancing.
