The free-to-attend event runs from 1-7pm on Monday 5th February, will feature more than 100 exhibitors and employers offering apprenticeship information, advice, and live vacancies.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover more about the different types of apprenticeships, what they involve and how they work, including higher and degree apprenticeships.
Exhibitors include major Leeds employers and training providers from a wide range of sectors, such as accounting, business and administration, catering and hospitality, construction, creative design, care services, digital, education, engineering, finance, hair and beauty, health, law, protective services and many more.
Several exhibitors will also be giving talks on topics such as, how to apply for an apprenticeship, a parent’s guide to apprenticeships, and the power of virtual work experience.
Councillor Jonathon Pryor, Deputy Leader of Leeds City Council, said: “Over the years, this fair has aided the journey of thousands of people into highly skilled and rewarding careers.
“Leeds is the fastest growing city in England, and as a city, we continue to attract more quality employers each year. This is reflected by the wide range of different business sectors and the number of employers attending this year’s fair. Apprenticeships offer something for everyone, from hands-on learning to degree-level qualifications, and are a fantastic route into a wide range of careers.
“I would recommend anyone considering an apprenticeship to attend and find out more about opportunities in Leeds.”
