York Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair (York Apprenticeship Recruitment Event)
We collaborate with York Jobs Fair to host a York Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair.
It was held on Wednesday 13 March 2024 at York Barbican, between 11.00am and 6.00pm.
All ages were welcome from York and North Yorkshire to find out about apprenticeship opportunities and job vacancies as well as re-skilling and up-skilling.
Information sessions ran throughout the day and job-seeker sessions ran from 11.00am to 3.00pm. Apprenticeship sessions ran from 3.00 to 6.00pm.
For a list of exhibitors and information sessions, go to York Learning or contact us.
Year 11 Apprenticeship Taster Days
The Year 11 Apprenticeship Taster Days were on Tuesday 16 January and Thursday 18 January 2024. The 2025 dates are yet to be confirmed.
Each year York year 11 students get to 'try before they buy', to test their next steps after secondary school.
The York Apprenticeship Hub work with local employers to offer an apprenticeship taster option as part of the taster days. More information and applications will be sent out in the autumn term.
Speak to your school for more information.
