Free event in Rhyl will highlight apprenticeship opportunities
The SkillX Apprenticeship and Traineeship Event is being held at the 1891 in Rhyl from 10am to 1pm on Tuesday, July 8.
Organised by Working Denbighshire, the event will include talks from employers, providers, and current apprenticeships, as well as the chance to talk to organisations directly.
There will be opportunities for people at all levels of experience, with positions available from level one to level seven.
Councillor Jason McLellan, leader of the council and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, said: "This event is a fantastic opportunity for residents to explore the wide range of apprenticeships and trainee roles available locally.
"By connecting people directly with employers and training providers, we hope to open doors to rewarding careers and support the economic growth of our communities."
Ruth Hanson, principal manager at Working Denbighshire, said: "Having seen the benefits of apprenticeships first hand with my own children, I know how valuable these opportunities can be.
"This event is a great chance for anyone thinking about their next steps to come along, ask questions, and explore what's out there, whether you're just starting out or thinking about a career change."
Attendees will be able to speak to employers, as well as about apprenticeship programmes, including qualifications and progression routes.
There will be talks on the benefits of apprenticeships, apprentices' experiences, and employer expectations.
Employers attending include Ifor Williams Trailers, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, the Prison and Probation Service, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Civil Service, and the Fire Service.
There will also be training and support providers, including Wrexham University, Careers Wales, Business Wales, Achieve More Training Ltd, Flintshire Communities for Work+, and Screen Alliance Wales.
People can drop in at any time.
