Hundreds attend GC Apprenticeship Open Evening
Employer Training and Apprenticeships
More than 300 people descended on our Gloucester campus on Wednesday 16 March 2022 to attend our annual Apprenticeship Open Event. The event, open to everyone aged 16+ interested in training, re-training or upskilling through apprenticeships, invited attendees to discover more about apprenticeships, and to meet Gloucestershire-based employers from a wide range of industries looking to recruit apprentices.
Attendees started the evening with a welcome from our very own Employer Training and Apprenticeships team, who guided guests through the types and levels of apprenticeships available, the industries they could work in and the exciting career paths apprenticeships can lead on to. Current GC apprentices were on-hand to share their stories of everyday apprentice life, details of the projects they’ve worked on, and why they chose their apprenticeships.
Guests could then explore the event and speak directly to our employer partners about the apprenticeship opportunities they have on offer, express an interest and make an application to the College.
