Barclays would like to invite parents to one of two ‘virtual’ insight events taking place during Scottish Apprenticeship Week.  These events are specifically for parents to help them discover more about our Apprenticeship opportunities and to share this with their children. Parents will have the opportunity to hear from our business, our Apprentices/Apprentice-Parents and our Early Careers teams. We will also walk through the application and assessment process and the support available through our LifeSkills programme, with the opportunity for Q&A at the end.

The parents we are keen to engage with are:

• S3 to S6 Parents, interested in finding out about Graduate Apprentice opportunities for their children, either for applications this year or for 2021 and beyond.
• Any parents interested in Barclays Apprenticeships overall.

Session Times 

Parents will take part individually using simple pc technology details of which our delivery partner, Channel Talent, will send prior to each session. The available session times are:

• Session 1 (5th March) @ 19.00-19.45
• Session 2 (6th March) @ 19.00-19.45

The charge for Easter School this session is £60 for the full week (or £15 per day).  There is no charge for pupils in receipt of free school meals.  You can pay online using the ParentPay website.
