MONDAY 8 TO FRIDAY 12 FEBRUARY – 1.15pm to 1.45pm each day
National Apprenticeship Week aims to shine a light on the amazing work being done by employers and apprentices across the country. To celebrate this annual event we will be hosting live talks throughout the week from STEM Ambassadors showcasing the opportunities available to young people, with an insight into apprenticeships available from the following companies:
MONDAY 8th – BAE Systems with Billie an Engineering Technician
BAE Systems with Billie. Are you unsure about your future? Do you want to consider alternative routes to further qualifications? One where you can gain much-valued, real life experience that a classroom environment can’t necessarily offer, where you can learn from skilled professionals with years of experience? An apprenticeship may be for you! There are apprenticeships in most subject areas from finance, to hair and beauty, to Engineering, and you can gain fully-funded qualifications from Level 3 to degree-level and beyond! In 2019 Billie was named in the Top 100 ‘most influential women leaders in engineering UK and Europe’. We are therefore delighted that Billie has agreed to support this event to share her knowledge and expertise.
