The Festival of Apprenticeships is a roadshow exhibition promoting and celebrating all things apprenticeships. More than just a careers fair or conference, the event is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to find out more about apprenticeships. From discovering local opportunities by meeting organisations first-hand, through to guidance on how to apply for and make the most of an apprenticeship, the festival will cover all!

With top employers and learning providers highlighting their talent and promoting opportunities to future apprentices, the event will serve as a showcase of excellence in the sector!

Why Consider Apprenticeships?

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, pharmacy, 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!)
