| 1330-1355 | North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College | We will focus our talk on our Engineering provision at NWSLC. This will incorporate a “day in the life” of an apprentice. This will follow the apprentice in their workplace and includes discussion with the employer. We will also include talks from Alumni students, giving an overview of how they got to where they are, where they are going and what they enjoy doing. Also included in our spotlight talk will be an introduction to our MTI campus, which is home to our specialist automotive courses. Finally, we will conclude our session with a panel Q&A with our Business Engagement team, an employer and an apprentice. | |
