In celebration of National Apprenticeships Week 2025, an Apprenticeship Bus event came to Carisbrooke College today. 

Students interested in apprenticeships were invited to a speed networking event where they got the chance to speak to current apprentices from a range of different industries and professions, including Business Administration; Manufacturing; Healthcare and Engineering. 

Thank you to GKN, BAE Systems, Island Roads, HTP, Isle of Wight Council, NHS and Johnsons Electrics for allowing their apprentices to support the event.

Here is some feedback from students who attended the Apprenticeship Bus event. 

"I found it very informative. I'm definitely going to consider an apprenticeship as an option! Thank you!"

"I was very interested in speaking to someone who actually is an apprentice, it made sense to me to come to the event."

"I found the speed networking event really interesting. I liked learning about what an apprenticeship is like and getting advice from a real apprentice about how to find and apply for an apprenticeship."
