York Apprentice recruitment event 18th August

Apprentice event 18th Aug 2015

 

The city’s recruitment event in March this year was hugely successful, attracting over 500 young people and parents looking for information on Apprenticeships and Apprenticeship vacancies across the city and businesses are being urged to book their free space. The event helped many employers including Nestlé, Portakabin, Purenet, Riccall Care, Your Bike Shed and Network Rail meet with aspiring young people to fill their apprenticeship positions.

The recruitment event, which takes place at West Offices between 4.30pm and 7.30pm on 18 August, comes after students across the city have received their A Level results and takes place the same week that GCSE results are published.

The event offers businesses the chance to speak to young people about employment opportunities and also looks to highlight both the business benefits of hiring apprentices and the individual benefits of pursuing an Apprenticeship job with training.
