Apprenticeships event brings together employers and students in Exeter
Hundreds of young people from across Devon will have a chance to meet potential employers at Sandy Park in Exeter today.
As part of National Apprenticeship Week, employers and training providers have teamed up to showcase some of the training opportunities available to those preparing to leave full-time education.

Neil Sproats, post-16 leader at Okehampton Community College, said: “This event is ideal for our students to explore the world of apprenticeships and the potential opportunities that exist for them.
“Actually meeting real employers and other apprenticeship experts will be hugely beneficial to both students and college staff to increase their understanding of the programme. This provides a real alternative to students who may not wish to go down traditional routes like university and so we are all looking forward to the day.”
Lisa Swailes-Smith, head of Year 11 at Ilfracombe Community College, said: “The event will enable students who live in a relatively remote region to investigate the opportunities provided by employers outside the immediate locality and in the wider world.”
