An awareness-raising webinar initiative to showcase the benefits of apprenticeships will be launched across Staffordshire during National Apprenticeship Week 2024.
Employers, teachers, parents and students are all invited to take part in the online sessions.
The drive is spearheaded by Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Careers Hub together with West Midlands Apprenticeship Ambassador Network.
A key event for employers is a webinar on 7 February showcasing the support available to Micro and SMEs when taking on an apprentice.
A webinar on 5 February informs teachers and parents about apprenticeship pathways.
