Apprenticeships at Kingston College

Apprenticeship Event - Wednesday 8 February (4.30pm-7.30pm)

This event is the highlight of the Kingston College celebrations marking the 5th National Apprenticeship Week.

The Apprenticeship Event will be held at the College Kingston Hall Road Centre, and aims to inform employers and students alike about the benefits of apprenticeships.

Over the last few years the College has grown the numbers of apprenticeship courses and we now offer Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships over many areas from the traditional industrial areas to Retail, Team Leading and Management. 

We intend to bring together employers from companies of all sizes with current and prospective students and their parents to discuss opportnities. Kingston College currently works with many large and small businesses in the local and wider community, including British Airways, l'Oreal, Dicky Bird Nurseries, Smith & Byford, Lufthansa Technik and many more.
