Hundreds attend Hyndburn Apprentice event

Over two hundred people visited Accrington Town Hall on 16th January to find out about apprenticeships on offer at the Hyndburn Apprenticeship event.

This was the second Hyndburn Apprenticeship event, following the success of the first one last summer.

Cllr Miles Parkinson, Council Leader, said; “The event was a great success with lots of people coming along to find out more about a wide range of apprenticeships and training places will be on offer.”

Aimed at people aged 16 to 24, attendees were able to find out more about apprenticeships direct from employers and training providers, seek expert advice and get one-to-one support in applying for apprenticeship vacancies.  
There were real live vacancies on offer, along with the chance to apply for apprenticeships and have an interview with potential employers on the day.

Council Leader, Cllr Miles Parkinson, added; “An apprentice learns on the job, and is able to gain qualifications by learning new skills, whilst earning money at the same time. Many thanks to the local businesses who took part offering even more fantastic opportunities for anyone who is aged 16 to 24 and is interested in becoming an apprentice.”
