I recently hosted an Apprenticeship and Jobs Fair in Chelmsford at Anglia Ruskin University. The atmosphere was buzzing with a fabulous line up of different employers exhibiting, from engineering and financial services to construction, health and beauty, communications, professional services, care, hospitality, local government, even space science and the military.
This was be our second year and I am very keen to continue this event on an annual basis to do everything we can to support our young people.
During the event, many people young and old came to find out opportunities to earn while you learn in and around Chelmsford. It was particularly good to meet many students from different secondary schools, particularly those in year 11 and 13 who were clearly thinking deeply about what they will do after finishing exams next summer. This is the second time I have hosted such an event and it does take a huge amount of organisation. However it also helps so many people, so I am determined this will be an annual event.
This year’s event has more training providers in a wide variety of professions from Research and Development Advisors; Construction with the Anderson Group and Countryside Properties to manufacturing, engineering, the Army, hairdressing and beauty.
We are now planning 2022's Fair which will be held on Friday 23rd September 2022, also at Anglia Ruskin University. For more information on how to get involved, please email [email protected]
