As part of National Apprenticeship Week 2025 (taking place this week), an apprenticeships event will take place today (Tuesday, February 11) at Victoria Hall, in Saltaire.
The Apprenticeships Unlocked event will give people the opportunity to chat to employers about the apprenticeships they offer, and to find out more about what local colleges can offer in terms of apprenticeships.

Since the Apprenticeship Levy came into force in April 2017, Bradford Council has used apprenticeships to upskill staff and to employ new apprentices.
More than 1,000 employees have received apprenticeship training in areas such as early years, health and social care, social work, digital marketing, project management, and business administration.
The council's in-house training provider, Skills for Work, offers apprenticeships to the public; this service was most recently rated 'Good' by Ofsted, and the service claims to have a 100 per cent pass rate.
Laura Liddon, who completed a level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager apprenticeship through Skills for Work, said: "The most rewarding part of my apprenticeship so far has been the chance to apply what I've learned in real-world situations and see the tangible impact of my work."
