2 There has never been a better time to employ an apprentice. Apprenticeships enable companies to grow their own workforce, providing highly-qualified and motivated employees. It s an economic imperative that we increase the number of employers who engage with apprenticeships in order to boost the economy and help businesses grow and become more productive. The National Apprenticeship Show is an excellent way for young people and their parents to meet with top employers who are offering a range of fantastic apprenticeships, face to face, all in one place. It will also enable employers to meet with young talent and the workforce of the future. I would encourage all businesses to consider how employing an apprentice can help them grow. Richard Harrington Prime Minister s Advisor on Apprenticeships and Joint Chairman of the Apprenticeship Delivery Board

3 ABOUT THE EVENT The First National Apprenticeship Show takes place at the fantastic ArenaMK on March 2016 and will bring together employers, colleges and providers with those wanting to find out more about what apprenticeships can offer. The National Apprenticeship Show exists only to promote apprenticeships and our message is clear apprenticeships work for both candidates and employers alike.
