Centre For Apprenticeships Pop-Up Shop National Apprenticeship Week 4th-9th March 2019
Have you ever considered an apprenticeship but aren’t sure where to start?
Are you concerned about your age or worried about your pay?
https://centreforapprenticeships.co.uk/naw19/
In association with the Baytree Centre, Brentwood Borough Council, and leading training providers such as Havering College, we are setting up a Pop-Up Shop in Brentwood High Street for the entire National Apprenticeship Week (NAW19) from the 4th – 9th of March 11am – 6pm.
The shop will host large and small businesses, training providers, and current apprentices. Workshop sessions and business networking events will take place every evening from some of Brentwood’s top networking groups.
A wide range of resources and people will be available to help you get started and support you throughout your apprenticeship journey. With over 10,000 live listings from our website, employers and training providers on-hand throughout the week, you’ll have plenty of expertise and knowledge to walk you through the process from beginning to end.
There will be planned talks from industry experts from the NHS, Havering College, and apprenticeship ambassadors. A huge range of sectors that will be hunting for keen minds and potential apprentices, so no matter what your area of focus is, we’re sure there will be many opportunities for you.
You will also have a chance to learn how to create the perfect CV to sell yourself, your skills and experience, and hone your approach to job searching. While you’re there why not take the opportunity to have a professional headshot photo taken for your LinkedIn profile?
Open to ages 16 plus with no upper age limit.
