On the 29 and 30 June and the 5 July, The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is hosting a series of events intended to help matchmake between local businesses and future apprentices.The events are focused on introducing people interested in degree apprenticeships in the engineering, construction, business and digital sectors, and events will be taking place at both the Preston and Burnley campuses.
During the events, businesses will be able to meet several potential future degree apprentices on a one-to-one basis. There will be a two-hour speed pitching session, where businesses will have the option to award opportunities to those who impress them. Attendees will also hear from keynote speakers and take part in a question and answer session with an industry panel.
Head of the UCLan Enterprise Engagement Unit, Martin Blunt, said:
“We are looking forward to holding this Spark event again for the first time since the pandemic. It is so important that our future apprentices understand the pace of change within the sector they want to work in, and the best career opportunities open to them. These day-long sessions provide the perfect opportunity to do just that. Employers will not only be matched with talented people but also learn more about how they can benefit from the Lancashire Levy Transfer Network.”
Each event runs from 9.30am – 3.00pm and employers and future apprentices are all required to register for the event via Eventbrite.
