Apprenticeship Expo and Awards 2020

11.03.2020

Our annual Expo and Awards event, held at the iconic Sheldonian Theatre, is a fantastic way for us to celebrate all of our apprentices and staff undertaking Apprenticeship training to develop their careers. It is also a perfect opportunity for all University staff to attend and speak to all of our training providers about how Apprenticeships may be useful in their departments, either by recruiting entry level roles or developing employees.

EXPO

The expo started at 11am. This was a chance for all University employees to talk to some of the 20 different training providers we currently work with and discuss how Apprenticeships may be able to benefit them by hiring a new entrant or by undertaking Apprenticeship training themselves to develop their skills. See some of the current Apprenticeship courses our staff are on here.
