An event promoting the range of new higher level apprenticeship options available to A Level/Level 3 school leavers has been held at the Newry campus of Southern Regional College. The college in association with Newry Chamber of Commerce and Trade, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council recently hosted the “Big Apprenticeship” event providing information on the huge range of apprenticeship options on offer for those students completing their GCSEs.

If you missed the opportunity to attend why not come along to the “Big Apprenticeship” event at SRC’s Portadown Campus on Thursday 12th April from 5-8pm?

Local employers have committed to creating hundreds of new apprenticeship and higher level apprenticeship job opportunities in a wide range of areas. Students are invited with their parents/guardians to attend this information and employer showcase evening to find out more about these 'local' apprenticeship opportunities starting from September 2018. This is a perfect opportunity for parents and young people to consider more cost effective, alternative routes to achieving degree qualifications whilst working locally.
