On the 6th February 2017 Apprentices Mean Business supported an event at St. Edwards school to promote Design and Technology as a great career path.

Your Future – Your Choice

Everything you ever wanted to know about apprenticeships but were afraid to ask!
On the 17th March Superior Seals hosted a well attended event promoting apprenticeships to potential new apprenticeship providers. The networking breakfast lead to presentations from Aish and Superior outlining their apprenticeship schemes, how they are incorporated throughout the companies and their significant success as a result of taking on apprentices. The question and answer session was followed by a tour of the Superior Academy, demonstrating how the Superior apprentices have contributed to the business. Hopefully we’ll start to see new schemes starting in the near future!
