Bath College is hosting the annual Apprenticeship & Careers Fair at the Apex Hotel on 26th February to address regional skills gaps in BANES and the surrounding areas. This event follows National Apprenticeship Week, building on the momentum of an occasion that promotes apprenticeships as a route to success for apprentices and employers.<\/p>\n
Up to 85 local and national employers will be present across the engineering, business, construction, education, hair and beauty, accounting, and sport sectors. The college expects to welcome over 1,000 visitors, including students from the college, local schools, and the public.<\/p>\n
By connecting employers with local talent and career pathways to potential apprentices, the event directly addresses the ongoing skills gap issues in the South West, boosts the local economy, and bridges the gap between education and employment.<\/p>\n
Ebner Heatly, Employer Engagement Manager at Bath College, said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome 85 employers who are eager to meet and inspire the future workforce at this year\u2019s Apprenticeship & Careers Fair. It\u2019s an opportunity for people of all ages to explore the many career paths and apprenticeships available locally.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re starting, looking to retrain, or curious about your options, the chance to speak with employers is invaluable. We\u2019re proud to bring together talent and opportunity in Somerset, and we encourage everyone to get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adrian Carr, Partnership Manager at the Department for Work and Pensions, added, \u201cApprenticeships are an opportunity to get real-world skills whilst getting paid, which can lead to sustainable employment. It offers good career progression pathways within sectors for advanced roles and promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
