National Apprenticeship Week and National Careers Week 2017

 

6 to 10 March 2017

 

National Apprenticeship Week

 

The National Apprenticeship Week is co-ordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service and is designed to celebrate apprenticeships and traineeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.  This year marks the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week and will celebrate the achievements of apprentices over the last decade. The overall theme of the week is 'Ladder of Opportunity' which will focus on the progression routes of apprenticeships, traineeships through to higher and degree apprenticeships.  Further information about the week, as well as on apprenticeships and traineeships can be found on the GOV.UK website.

 

Come and take a look at the display in the LRC, which has further details about local and specialist apprenticeship providers, as well as about National Apprenticeship Week.  If you are interested in an apprenticeship further information is also available in the Careers Library based in the LRC.  See or email the Careers Librarian, Mandy Barker for further details.

 

 

National Careers Week

National Careers Week is run as a non-for-profit company to promote the importance of good careers education in schools and colleges, funded and backed by a number of volunteers with a wealth of experience from education, business and careers guidance. The aim is to provide a focus on careers guidance and support to students who may be about to leave college and enter full-time employment.  At a time of high youth unemployment there has never been a bigger need for careers guidance to be promoted and celebrated in education.  National Careers Week provides a platform to advise and inspire the next generation as they enter the world of work.  Further details and resources can be found on the National Careers Week website.

 

For any careers advice and guidance, please see a member of Careers Staff, Cerise Walters, Jill Valentine or Kevin Lennox based in Student Services.  Appointments can be made to see any of them at the main desk in Student Services.

 

Please come and have a look at the display in the LRC and use the Careers Library, which has a selection of resources available for you to borrow on CVs, Interview Skills, Job applications, Job interviewing,  Job Hunting and other careers resources. Online careers resources are also available from the Careers and LRC Moodle Page.  If you require any help or assistance finding careers information and resources see the Careers Librarian, Mandy Barker in the LRC.
