The Leeds Apprenticeship Recruitment Fair takes place this week, showcasing a range of paid employment and educational opportunities from across Leeds and the wider region.
Everyone is welcome at the free-to-attend event, organised by Leeds City Council, which is being held at the first direct arena Leeds, between 1-7pm on Wednesday (12 February 2025).
On the day, over 100 exhibitors will be providing information, advice, and live apprenticeship vacancies.
Visitors can find out about the different types of apprenticeships on offer, what they involve, and how they work, including higher and degree apprenticeships.
A wide range of sectors will be represented at the fair, including accounting, business and administration, catering and hospitality, construction, creative design, care services, digital, education, engineering, finance, hair and beauty, health, law, protective services and many more.
Deputy leader and executive member for economy, transport and sustainable development, Councillor Jonathan Pryor, said:
“Apprenticeships offer something for everyone, from hands-on learning to degree-level qualifications, providing a fantastic route into a wide range of careers.
“Over the years, this fair has aided the journey of thousands of people into highly skilled and rewarding jobs. As the fastest-growing city in England, we continue to attract more quality employers each year, which is reflected in the range of apprenticeship opportunities to be showcased at this year’s fair.
“I would recommend anyone considering an apprenticeship to attend and find out more about opportunities in Leeds.”
Exhibitors who will be there on the day to showcase their apprenticeship opportunities include Springfield Training, Leeds Manufacturing Festival, Jet2, Appris, Bank of England, CML, Royal Navy, KPMG, The Coders Guild, JCT 600, plus many more.
