York Jobs, Apprenticeships and Jobs Fair
We collaborate with York Jobs Fair to host a York Jobs, Apprenticeships and Jobs Fair. This was previously called the York Apprenticeship Recruitment Event.
It will be held on Tuesday 11 March 2025 at York Barbican, between 1.00pm and 6.00pm.
All ages are welcome from York and North Yorkshire to find out about apprenticeship opportunities and job vacancies, as well as re-skilling and up-skilling.
For a list of exhibitors and information sessions, go to York Learning or contact us.
Year 11 Apprenticeship Taster Days
Every year, Year 11 students in York get a chance to try out different careers options, helping them to decide on their next steps after secondary school.
The York Apprenticeship Hub works with local employers to offer an apprenticeship taster option as a part of the taster days.
This year, there was an offer of a Construction Taster Day on Thursday 16 January 2025. Students were introduced to the many different careers in construction and learned how to apply for apprenticeships and T Levels.
Find more information about construction-related apprenticeships or contact us.
National Apprenticeship Week
The National Apprenticeship Week for 2025 was Monday 10 to Sunday 16 February 2025.
National Apprenticeship Week is a time for schools, colleges, employers and students to come together and celebrate the contributions apprentices make to businesses and communities.
Many employers and organisations use this week to showcase their opportunities and provide information through online and in-person events.
Locally, York College and York St John University are hosted events.
Our York Apprenticeship Hub is here to answer your questions. You can contact us on Facebook or via email: york.apprenticeships@york.gov.uk.
You can also visit the National Apprenticeship Week website for more information.
