Tuesday 6th February 2024
Manchester Digital’s Digital Skills Festival and National Apprenticeship Week come together to celebrate and elevate the amazing opportunities and benefits digital apprenticeships provide.
On Discover Digital Apprenticeships Day we’ll put apprenticeships in the spotlight.
The morning is for aspiring apprentices, or anyone interested in finding out about their options with apprenticeships.
Expect inspiring talks and panel discussions to help you find your path, opportunities to connect with apprenticeship providers and employers, and interactive workshops designed to help prepare you to apply for or start your apprenticeship.
Tech apprentices are an excellent way for people to gain an entry-level role in the tech and digital industry, with a full-time wage and training as well. Apprentices come from all different backgrounds, from other industries – and you do not need a university degree to join a scheme.
