In the second of our special National Apprenticeship Week episodes, Georgie Frost chats to Helen Booth, from the Homeserve Foundation, and John Frith, from Checkatrade, about the findings of the independent ‘UK Domestic Trade Skills Index’.

The report has found that we're facing a trade skills shortage that could threaten Britain's economic recovery - and Helen and John tell Georgie how apprenticeships and government action could help address the problem.
