YOUNG people have been encouraged to attend an apprenticeship fair organised by Dudley South MP Mike Wood.

The event will take place on Friday, June 29 at the Art & Design Centre in Venture Way, Brierley Hill.

Running from 2pm to 4pm, the event will give youngsters the chance to network and see what opportunities are available at a wide range of companies, including Barclays Bank, Tesco, Aldi and Mitchell & Butlers.

Mr Wood said: β€œI am very much looking forward to hosting my third annual apprenticeship fair at the end of June.

β€œIt is so important for young people to get good quality information when applying for apprenticeships in the local area, which is why I have decided to bring some companies together under one roof to showcase what they can offer.”
