POTENTIAL recruits had the chance to meet with some of the region’s biggest employers and training providers during an apprenticeship showcase which was held at Worcester’s Sixways rugby stadium.
Students from years 10, 11 and 12 were given information about life after school and the variety of apprenticeship programmes on offer in Worcestershire.
A second event was held at the Abbey Stadium, Redditch.
Festival Housing Association, Jaguar and Worcester College of Technology were among more than 40 exhibitors at the events which were organised by Worcestershire County Council in partnership with the National Apprenticeship Service, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire Training Providers Association and Black Country Training Group.
Aamir Kayani, the county council’s employment and skills manager, said: “One of the council’s priorities is ensuring that we build the current and future workforce for the growth of our economy, fulfilling existing and emerging business needs.”
