Dorset LEP supports The Careers and Apprenticeship Show 2021

Careers and Apprenticeship Show 2021

Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership is proud to support The Careers and Apprenticeship Show 2021 on Thursday 20 May 2021 with Dorset Careers Hub, working in partnership with nine partners across Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey.

The Careers and Apprenticeship Show 2021 will take place virtually this year to ensure young people do not miss out as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will bring schools, colleges, universities and businesses together and will showcase the very best that Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey have to offer in relation to careers and apprenticeships.

The event will take place on Thursday 20 May, and will feature a full day of interactive webinars, chatrooms, and 60 employer and apprenticeship provider booths. The event will run until 7pm to ensure that parents also have the opportunity to meet companies, colleges, training providers and universities, and to explore their child’s local career options.

Rebecca Davies, Head of Enterprise, Skills and Industry at Dorset LEP, said: “We are proud to be supporting The Careers and Apprenticeship Show 2021 and look forward to welcoming schools, young people and their parents and carers to the event, albeit virtually. The event will be a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn more about their future career options and for businesses to meet their potential future workforce and develop relationships with schools across the regions.” 

Dorset LEP is proud to have the support of the following Dorset companies, who will be available to talk to young people and parents at the event:

  • Dorset NHS
  • University Hospitals Dorset
  • Royal Air Force
  • Mazars LLP
  • Coles Miller Solicitors

Exhibit at the Careers & Apprenticeship Show:

We are looking for organisations from across Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey to join fellow employers and education providers in highlighting different career pathways, from employment to further and higher education and apprenticeships, and the range of industry sectors and organisations large and small, across the region. 

Set in a modern, virtual venue, your branded booth will support the provision of content links, access to documents and job vacancies, and the ability to interact with attendees through a Q&A forum.
