Job Box celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2021
National Apprenticeship Week 2021 takes places between 8 to 14 February and aims to shine a light on the amazing work being done by employers and apprentices across the country.
The week-long celebration is an opportunity to showcase the benefit of apprenticeships for young people and also local businesses and organisations.
Telford & Wrekin Council employ over 100 apprentices who work in a range of roles across the organisation supporting young people throughout their apprenticeship and also around securing further employment in the council.
The Council’s Job Box team have put together a library of information and resources over on the Job Box website in celebration of National Apprenticeship Week.
This includes a timetable of live events and workshops which have been organised by both the careers team and also other local organisations. The events cover a range of different subjects from tips on finding the right role to learning the best interview techniques.
Cllr Shirley Reynolds Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, Education and Lifelong Learning said: “In normal times we would see our annual Apprenticeship Show event take place at the Telford International Centre attracting thousands of young people and local businesses from around the borough. Whilst we are sad this cannot happen in the current situation, we delighted to bring you a whole range of information through the Job Box website.
“Apprenticeships are for all ages and offer opportunity to study at all levels from level 2 up to degree level in a range of sectors. For many, the apprenticeship route is not such an obvious choice. But for those who are motivated to get started in the job market, an apprenticeship is an excellent way of gaining essential experience, earn while you work and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
“We hope people will take the time look through the online resources which explain more about the benefits of the apprenticeship route.”
