FDF Apprenticeship Roadshow

Back to events

26 March 2012

Event, Concourse Suite 33, The Atrium, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, B40 1NT

As part of FDF's Apprenticeship Pledge, we are raising awareness amongst food manufacturers by rolling out a series of regional road shows across the country to inform food companies of the benefits apprentices can bring to their businesses.

In partnership with the National Apprenticeship Service and the National Skills Academy for food and drink, FDF is kicking off its roadshow during the Food and Drink Expo at the NEC Birmingham. These workshops are designed to assist food businesses who want to understand the business benefits of apprenticeships or who are interested in expanding their existing activity.

Speakers will be on hand from the National Apprenticeship Service and the National Skills Academy for food and drink who will give food manufacturers advice on how to get the most from apprenticeships.

Representatives from food manufacturers will be sharing their experiences, as well as apprentices themselves who will give the low down on their new careers.
