Apprenticeship Fair coming to Wakefield
Wakefield
Council is holding an Apprenticeship Fair to help young people across the
district decide on their next steps after education.
The event, in
partnership with Wakefield College, will take place on Tuesday 4 February, 2pm
- 7pm at Pontefract Racecourse.
This will be an
opportunity for young people and their families to learn about apprenticeships
and meet with a number of employers from a range of sectors including digital, construction,
manufacturing, engineering and health and social care.
There will also be
the chance to take part in interactive exhibits and speak directly to employers.
Cllr Michael
Graham, Wakefield Council’s Cabinet Member for Skills, Digital and Technology
Capabilities, said: “Apprenticeships are a great way for young people to step
into the world of work. They
give people the opportunity to learn and develop new skills that will help them
throughout their working lives.
“We have some fantastic businesses with apprenticeship
job opportunities available to those in attendance. I would encourage young
people and their families to come along and find out more. The opportunities
are available across the whole of the Wakefield district and we have something
for everyone.”
Businesses who
will be in attendance include Advanced Diesel Engineering, British Army,
Decrobond, ENGIE, Galliford Try, Northern Media, OE Electrics, Quest Waste
Management, Wakefield Council, Wakefield District Housing and West Yorkshire
