Apprenticeships Webinars
Introduction to Apprenticeships Webinars
We kicked the festival off with two webinars starring current apprentices from Softcat, All Spring Media and other Buckinghamshire businesses. The first webinar revealed everything you need to know about apprenticeship levels 2-4, whilst the second focused on all things Level 6. You can catch up on both here.
Festival of Apprenticeships
From discovering degree apprenticeships with London South Bank University to understanding apprentices’ role in the construction of HS2, the Festival of Apprenticeships’ online careers fair showcased some of the country’s top apprenticeship employers. Luckily, all 23 talks are now available to watch online, allowing you to pick and choose the topics you’re most interested in.
The Big Assembly
Over 140,000 people across the UK tuned in for The Big Assembly. Providing a 360-degree view of the apprenticeship experience, former and current apprentices, employers of apprentices, parents and education providers were just some of the perspectives explored during the broadcast. See for yourself.
