All About: Degree Apprenticeships

**PLEASE CHECK ELIGIBILITY BELOW AND READ THIS FULL EVENT DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TICKET**

Did you know that roles in the tech sector pay 55% higher than the national average. Degree Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to get into various different jobs across the Tech industry. In a nutshell, an apprenticeship is where you earn a salary working in a real job and actively split your time between learning while on that job, and studying and completing coursework. But this event is going to explain everything you need to know in much more detail! So if you live in London and are currently unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week and interested in getting into the tech sector - you don’t want to miss this event! We’ll be talking all about the apprenticeships currently available via our partners Ada College. At this event you can:

• Learn all the details you need about apprenticeships
• Find out which apprenticeships are available to YOU via Ada College
• Join our optional workshop on CVs and cover letters
• Get support with your applications
• Have your questions answered

Come along to this fantastic FREE in-person information and discussion event hosted by London Digital Jobs & Skills Hub at Ada College, 1 Sutherland St, Pimlico, London SW1V 4LD on Thursday 15th May 2025 at 5:30pm sharp to learn how you could secure a place on as an apprentice and change your life for the better! We'll be joined by guest speakers from Ada College as well as currently/former apprentices, and you will have the opportunity to have all your questions answered.
