Among the employers exhibiting at the Apprenticeship Jobs Fair were NatWest, Johnson Matthey, Premier Holidays, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge University Hospitals and Wates Construction.
Angela Hughes, head of apprenticeship programmes at CRC, said the Jobs Fair’s focus on apprenticeships had proved highly successful. .
“It was an excellent event and we were delighted that so many local businesses supported it by coming along with information about their vacancies and offering advice to students and local pupils,” she said.
“Apprenticeships can be key to business development and are a great way for young people to get a foot on the jobs ladder.”
