Youngsters hoping to secure an apprenticeship have been learning about opportunities in Brighton and Hove.

City College Brighton and Hove hosted a ‘Meet the Apprentices’ recruitment event at its City Skills and Jobs Shop on Queens Road.

The college in Pelham Street has teamed up with our local newspaper The Argus in order to get employers to take on more apprentices.

The apprentices were looking for a variety of vacancies in areas such as accounting, business admin, IT, catering and hospitality as well as care and construction.

Three of the college’s ‘star’ apprentices – Charlie Reed, Josh Kyriacous and Kimberley Burns – were on hand to chat to others wanting to become apprentices about the positive change an apprenticeship has made to them.

The aim of the 25 in five campaign is to encourage at least 25 employers to make a commitment to take on an apprentice during the five days of Apprenticeship Week.

If your business could be interested in taking on one or more apprentices, please call 01273 667756 or email apprenticeship@ccb.ac.uk.
