Developing the Young Workforce
The DYW Working Group is hosting a S3 Apprenticeship Awareness Day on Tuesday 27 November 2018 from 9.40am – 2pm.
Apprentices will share their career journey, a typical workday, education requirements, details of the apprenticeships their organisation offers and more. This is an opportunity for students to speak with someone whose career choice interests them and to explore areas they may not have considered before.
