A central part of the National Apprenticeship Week campaign, the Big Assembly is a record-breaking webinar on careers advice for schools, careers advisors, young people and employers. Last year over 10,000 attended the live stream, which this year will be introduced by the Education Secretary, Damian Hinds, and promoted to over 2 million young people in advance of the day. |
Fast approaching is one of the most important week of the year for apprenticeships – National Apprenticeship Week 2018. The 11th National Apprenticeship Week (NAW 2018) will run from 5 to 9 March 2018. During the week employers and apprentices from across England will come together to celebrate the success of apprenticeships whilst encouraging even more people to choose apprenticeships as a pathway to a great career. We are already receiving questions for the apprentices from Boots, Travis Perkins and the BBC so please use the chat facility to send in a question. Remember to enter your school or college name when you sign in as a guest to the chat so we can give you a shout out during the live event.
While there are many events supporting National Apprenticeship Week, the BIGGEST event you need to know about is The Big Assembly. With collaborators including DfE, DWP, National Skills Academies, Federation of Small Businesses, UCAS, The Student Room, Parent Teacher Association, National society for Apprentices...to name a few.
'This event is one you won't want to miss!'
The ground breaking event created by the East Midlands Apprenticeship Ambassador Network, Workpays and GetMyFirstJob is in its second year running with support from The National Apprenticeship Service and a range of employers committed to Apprenticeships.
Brought to you during National Apprenticeship Week and on International Women’s day, this second Big Assembly will attempt maximise registrations and increase the previous 10,000 people being online all at the same time for careers advice and guidance. This year is focused on diversity and social mobility, you’ll hear from Apprentices and employers who’ll be sharing their stories and inviting questions from a live and virtual audience through this interactive broadcast.
Helen Richardson, the Big Assembly Producer and Managing Director of Workpays comments on last year's Big Assembly , "we were bowled over by the excitement and success of The Big Assembly 2017 with over 10,000 people watching the live broadcast all about Apprenticeships. This year is going to be bigger, better and more interactive with an opportunity to put your questions to a panel of apprentices and employers."
Employers and apprentices will be sharing their experiences by combining commissioned films by apprentices with a live Q&A with experts.
