YEAR 13 students from Downend School found out about the opportunities available to young people tasking up apprenticeships.
The sixth formers attended the National Apprenticeship Show at Ashton Gate, giving them an opportunity to meet and network with local and national employers, finding out more about the world of work and the qualities companies are looking for in their future apprentices.
They received advice on making a strong application and how to stand out in a competitive job market.
Head of Sixth Form Kate Long said: “Employers were quick to praise the students for their confidence, professionalism, and the high calibre of their questions.
“Their enthusiasm and curiosity clearly made a positive impression, highlighting their readiness to take the next steps towards their future careers.
“This experience has not only broadened the students’ understanding of the apprenticeship landscape but also boosted their confidence as they prepare to transition from education to employment.”
