DYW Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire are delighted to invite your school community to take part in our National Apprenticeship Week Event over the week of 7th March. We have a packed calendar of interactive workshops that will increase awareness of the apprenticeship family, the range of career opportunities available in the construction industry, what these careers involve, pathways into them and support and advice on how young people can find and get the job that is right for them in the industry. To mark International Women’s Day on 8th March we have a number of sessions that day and throughout the week that will highlight Women in Construction. The event is targeted at S1 to S6 pupils.
These sessions and will be delivered by employees and apprentices from construction firms working in Lanarkshire and colleagues from DYW and other partners. Full information on the session content and how to take part are detailed below.
The interactive Apprenticeship Week Timetable below provides and overview of all the sessions taking place during the week of 7th March with a daily session guide for each day providing more detail on the session content.
