This week I attended the iCan event to promote technical and business apprenticeships. Once again this event was well attended and I met many young people who are considering apprenticeship programmes.
The Kings Centre, Eastbourne
The Careers Hub aim to provide young people, and parents and carers of young people with special educational needs and/or additional needs with the opportunity to gain the relevant information regarding progressing into the next best phase of education, training or employment.
At iCan, young people, and parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet education and training providers that offer a variety of possible pathways, employers with current or future live vacancies, and apprenticeship providers. There will be employers with live vacancies and you will have the opportunity to take part in a pre-interview, mock interview or work/skills discussion with an employer. If you have a CV, Vocational Profile or Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP), we recommend bringing a copy with you to the event to show prospective employers, and education and training providers.
Support and Networking services from across East Sussex will also be in attendance to help answer the questions you may have regarding next steps after formal education.

Setting up our stands for the show. Jo from Focus SB (a SIGTA member company) was on the next stand promoting apprenticeships. It’s great to see companies waving the flag for engineering at these events.
