Engineering students at the Gatwick Job Fair for National Apprenticeship Week

Our Engineering Level 2 students had a great time at the Gatwick Job Fair, held by Gatwick Airport and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The students spoke to the many employers who were present and took part in mock interviews, with one student even securing a Part-time job whilst on-site!

With around 2,600 jobs available at the fair, this was a brilliant event for our students to speak directly with employers and get their foot in the door of different industries.
