Harrow College is a proud supporter of National Apprenticeship Week and will be holding events in Harrow to celebrate the positive impact apprenticeships have on individuals, businesses and the wider community.
Harrow College’s dedicated Apprenticeships team will be holding a stall in St Anns Shopping Centre to promote apprenticeships, on Friday 13 March from 12pm – 3pm.
The event will give members of the public the opportunity to understand how apprenticeships work and how they can be beneficial to both employers and employees.
Apprenticeships offer young people a great opportunity to earn while they learn, get paid holidays, receive training, gain qualifications and learn job-specific skills.
Harrow College currently delivers Apprenticeships in hairdressing, maintenance operations and construction, IT application, warehouse and storage, working with children and young people, health and social care, laboratory sciences, business administration, customer service, accounting and sales and telesales.
Sonia Stapleton, recruitment advisor at Harrow College said: “Harrow College provides Apprenticeships to support the joint learning and career progression of young people between the age of 16-24. They are an excellent alternative option for students, offering transferrable work skills, qualifications, personal and professional development and paid work. They also offer the possibility of permanent work with an employer. An Apprenticeship is a real job with training so you can earn while you learn and pick up recognised qualifications as you go.”
National Apprenticeship Week is co-ordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service and designed to celebrate apprenticeships.
Since 2010, over two million apprenticeships have started in England in over 170 industries, with over 90% of apprentices staying in employment after the completion of their apprenticeships.
