This year’s National Apprenticeship Week theme focussed on a ladder of opportunity and the prospective RuTC apprentices who attended the taster session had the chance to meet with the college teachers and take part in a CV skills workshop.

Staff at the college have been discussing apprenticeship opportunities throughout the week with a variety of employers and businesses including Anne Newton from the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. 

Speaking about the taster session, Eileen O’Gara, Head of Employer Engagement at Richmond upon Thames College commented “the session offered prospective apprentices the chance to understand how apprenticeships offer practical training opportunities alongside gaining nationally recognised qualifications.”

She added “National Apprenticeship Week has been a great opportunity for Richmond upon Thames College to celebrate our current apprentices and inspire students to follow this career path.”
