This month, Bedford College is hosting an Apprenticeship Week event aimed at parents of young people wanting to explore “earn as you learn” options.
It caters to parents who are anxious about the future employment prospects of their offspring – from 16-year-olds finishing their GCSEs to those who are older and might have completed higher or further education.
The event takes place between 5 – 8 pm at Bedford College on Thursday 9 February.
Local and national employers and agencies involved in apprenticeships will be there to showcase the many opportunities, and there will advice and guidance on how apprenticeship schemes work.
Vacancies advertised recently by The Bedford College Group include jobs in technology, engineering, vision and robots, landscaping, customer service, payroll and compliance.
Gina Bubbins, director of business development at Bedford College said: “We know what employers are looking for and the best way to find a good fit for young people offering access to some great companies and career opportunities.
“Come along and find out what the options are instead of just opting for university without hearing about ‘earn while you learn’ options.”
