York businesses invited to “exceptionally popular” apprenticeship exhibition event

City of York Council’s Apprenticeship Hub is urging local businesses and training providers to get involved in National Apprenticeship Week 2023, Monday 6 to Sunday 12 February.

York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Apprenticeship Hub is working in collaboration with City of York Council and NYBEP to host a ‘Skills for Life’ Apprenticeship Exhibition Event. This will be held at York Racecourse on Wednesday February 8 2023.

Local businesses and training providers are being invited to book their free stand at the event, which attracted over 350 visitors last year.

Aimed at people across the region wanting to start their career, upskill or re-train, the event is designed to promote the “huge” range of learning opportunities on offer and present the diversity of industries offering training and employment for prospective apprentices of all ages.

Cllr Andrew Waller, the council ’s executive member for Children, Young People and Education, commented: “Apprenticeships cover a wide range of ages, and qualifications and so are a fantastic way for young people to kick start their career, or for people later in life to take a new direction and learn new skills.

“The previous Apprenticeship Exhibition Event was exceptionally popular and I hope that local businesses and training providers will take this opportunity to book their free stand now, so they can meet hundreds of budding apprentices next February.”
