Moray Apprenticeship Jobs Fair – Now Open for Registration!

This FREE apprenticeship jobs fair will include a wide variety of employers across various industries who are all currently recruiting for apprentices now and in the future. Come along whether you want to do an apprenticeship now or in the future, and/or a parent/carer interested in learning more about apprenticeships and how they operate.

A jobs fair is a great way to speak with potential employers face-to-face in a relaxed environment, collect info on employers, ask them questions, apply for jobs, or even have a mini informal interview on the day! In addition, there will be apprenticeship experts at hand where you can:

• Meet the assessors and find out about the assessment process, how it is delivered, how to record the activity, and how to complete portfolios
• Meet the training coordinator to find out about the support provided to both the apprentice and the employer, apprenticeship duration, progression, mentors, and apprentice commitments.
• Learn where to find out about what apprenticeships are most suited to you.
• Find answers to other questions you may have.

In collaboration with Skills Development Scotland, DYW are excited to announce that for the first time, a preparation session will be offered ahead of the jobs fair! This session will take place on 18th February, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at UHI Moray, and provides a fantastic opportunity to:

• Have your CV checked by experts for personalised feedback.
• Learn what is expected at the fair and how to present yourself.
• Discover how to stand out among other candidates.
• Identify your unique selling points into focus.
• Receive an overview of participating employers.
