Former apprentices invited to share their stories

The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) South East are inviting former apprentices of all ages, particularly from Construction, Catering, Retail and Care, to the event which will celebrate National

Apprenticeship Week by bringing together old, and new, apprentices to share and compare experiences.

The event takes place on 4th February and invited guests will have an opportunity to meet Tony Robinson, actor and Time Team presenter, who will be speaking about the history of Apprenticeships.

Rachel McKellar, NAS Director for the South East said:

"Apprenticeships are an important part of the history of the South East and will continue to play a crucial role in its future. I think it is fantastic that this event will bring together the experiences of ex-apprentices with young apprentices who are the region's future.

"For years, apprentices have helped to boost the productivity and efficiency of businesses across the South East. The programme has helped a number of industries in the area to grow."

Places are limited; guests will receive a free celebratory lunch and the opportunity to visit the attractions at the dockyard.

Former apprentices from the South East region who would like more information are asked to email [email protected] or call Laura Kennard on 01273 783583 by 22 January.
