FOLLOWING a positive response to hosting two young adult employment events last year, Worcestershire County Council hope to duplicate that success with another double dose of the Careers Worcestershire Careers and Apprenticeship Roadshow this October.

The Careers Worcestershire Careers & Apprenticeship Roadshows provide young people, aged 15-24 with everything they need to take the next step on their career journey, with hands-on advice and support from Worcestershire businesses plus training and education providers.

Last year saw thousands of young people take part, exploring apprenticeships, traineeships, further education, and employment opportunities.

This year's events will take place at Sixways Stadium in Worcester on Tuesday 8th October 2024 and at Heart of Worcestershire College in Redditch on Thursday 24th October 2024. Both events will take place between 3.30pm-7.30pm and are both free to attend.

Judy Gibbs, head of skills & investment at Worcestershire County Council and director of skills for Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership said: “This year we’re celebrating the tenth anniversary of Worcestershire Apprenticeships plus the launch of brand-new career hubs in Redditch and Kidderminster, so it’s a great year to once again double up on the Careers Worcestershire Careers and Apprenticeship Roadshows.

The free-to-attend events are open to anyone aged 15-24 and offer a unique chance to explore the full range of career, apprenticeship, education, training and skill opportunities available locally.

The Careers and Apprenticeship Roadshows are free to attend, and participants can drop in anytime between 3.30pm and 7.30pm at either event.
