Why Consider Apprenticeships?

An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed for your career.

Here are just some of the reasons why an apprenticeship could be right for you:

  • Earn while you learn - Work alongside experienced staff to develop your skills and earn a wage at the same time
  • Hands-on experience – Gain practical experience in a real job role that allows you to learn by doing
  • Loads of choice - There are apprenticeships in EVERY sector & industry; from plumbing, accounting, beauty, catering, Ph*rm*cy, digital marketing, fashion & HM forces, the list is almost endless
  • Different levels to suit your needs - Whether you're just starting out, upskilling, or looking for a career change, there's an apprenticeship for everyone (from GCSE level to Master’s Degree!)
  • No student debt - As an apprentice, your employer pays for your training and also pays you a salary

Who Should Attend?

  • Anyone looking to find out more apprenticeships
  • School leavers or college graduates interested in future career opportunities
  • Parents, carers, teachers, lecturers or role models who want to support young people with their career choices
  • Current or past apprentices who want to inspire the future generation of apprentices
  • Schools & colleges welcome (please use the group booking ticket option)
  • Organisations looking to engage with schools, colleges and future apprentices (for exhibitor & sponsorship opportunities please enquire via our website)

Why Should You Attend?

  • Find out more about what apprenticeships actually are and how to apply for one
  • Discover the different types of apprenticeships available and which companies offer them
  • Meet award-winning apprentice role models who will reveal how an apprenticeship has benefitted them and answer your questions
  • This could change your life - It doesn’t matter where you are on your career journey, apprenticeships can open doors at any point in your life
  • It’s FREE to attend
