Joinery, carpentry and associated trade businesses are being urged to share their needs and wants from employees at the latest Wood Trade Employer Forum Event being held at Newark College.
Open to any business or sole trader interested in apprenticeships, work experience, T-Levels or just working with the College and its learners, the forum event is a chance for both the College and employers to meet and discuss needs and desires for the future.
Carpentry Lecturer, Paul Bailes, said: “This is an excellent chance for employers in the trade to come along and look into what we offer. We have so many different routes to apprentices here at Newark College and events like these are a great way to showcase the good work we’ve done in the past, as well as what we can do to work with employers to get the best for both our learners and those that employ them.
“We want to find out what can we do together to streamline the process so that more businesses can take on an apprentice, offer work experience or take on T Level student placements.
“So why not come along and listen as we bust some myths about what is available?”
The event will also have information available regarding the advantages of a study programme, learners being able to take work experience placements.
It will also be a great way for employers to find out about the opportunities available such as T-Levels, another alternative route for employers to work with young people.
The event runs on Wednesday 18th December from 9am to 10.30am at the Newark Campus.
The event will open with a meet and greet and a chance to network with other businesses as well as staff from the College before a carousel presentation of opportunities and the College’s programme of events through the year before a chance to find out more from a team of experts.
Newark College offers a host of opportunities for businesses, find out more about how it can benefit your business here.
