Strong Employer Engagement
We were pleased to host a range of employers from across the region, showcasing opportunities in community services, construction, engineering, healthcare, and business. Exhibiting organisations included: JCP Community Work Coach; RBK; Croydon NHS; Murphy’s; Berkeley Homes; Cardo Group; Cubic; Positive +; The Shore Group and EQUANS.
Employers spoke with visitors about upcoming roles, entry requirements, and the skills they look for in new Apprentices.
Community Support and Engagement
We were also delighted to welcome local MPs Luke Taylor and Bobby Dean, who spent time speaking with Apprentices, visitors, and employers to understand the range of opportunities available and the impact Apprenticeships have within the wider community.
Their conversations highlighted the value of collaborative work between education providers, employers, and local government in supporting young people and adults into high-quality training and employment.
