With over 3,000 visitors attending the two previous shows, this free event provides an opportunity for young people to learn about apprenticeships as an alternative to further studies.
Councillor Michael Gough, portfolio holder for Skills, Employment and Inclusion, said: “We place young people at the heart of all we do. We always work to ensure that they have the information and tools that helps them plan their next steps. The show will do just that.
“A parent recently thanked us for organising the show. With all the information gathered from exhibitors in the previous shows, her son decided to apply for an apprenticeship post 16.
“He succeeded in securing a Level 3 engineering apprenticeship with a leading employer. I am sure he won’t be the only one. I encourage all young people in Solihull to come along and learn about the opportunities available.”
The event is organised by Solihull Careers Hub which is part of the Council’s Employment and Skills Team.
