Simon Jordan, Director of Themis, said:
“In 2019 we are again bringing some of the region’s most successful and innovative businesses together in one place and inviting young people with drive and ambition to discover just what they can achieve through an Apprenticeship with them.
”This year we are also focussing on the opportunities presented by taking your learning to higher level in your Apprenticeship. Degree Apprenticeships are becoming ever more popular with Employers and career-minded Apprentices alike, offering the chance to gain an industry-focussed degree in your chosen sector and to save on the expense of university tuition fees.
“In previous years, many potential Apprentices have found their future Employer at this event and made important decisions which have shaped their future careers. It really is an unmissable event.”
