Discover what an apprenticeship could mean for your future
Choosing what comes next can feel like a big decision. University, apprenticeships and employment all offer different opportunities, and understanding which pathway suits your interests and ambitions is an important first step.
The Taunton Apprenticeship Evening is designed to make those choices clearer, bringing together current apprentices, experienced professionals, employers and training providers in one welcoming environment.
Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Hear from inspiring keynote speakers: Discover real experiences and practical advice from apprentices and industry professionals.
- Meet employers and training providers: Explore apprenticeship opportunities, ask questions and learn what organisations look for in future employees.
- Connect with current apprentices: Find out what apprenticeship life is really like, from applications and interviews to balancing work with qualifications.
- Receive a free professional LinkedIn headshot: Take an early step towards building your professional profile.
- Build confidence through networking: Meet people who can offer guidance, share experiences and help you explore your next steps.
Hear from people who have been in your position
The evening will feature three keynote speakers, each bringing a different perspective on apprenticeships, career development and creating opportunities.
Amaya Ahmed, Founder of The HerEstate Network and a Commercial Real Estate Degree Apprentice at Colliers, will share her experience of building a career in property alongside developing her own professional network.
Jack Frampton, Marketing Apprentice at Queen’s College and Founder of JackFrampton Apprenticeships, will explore the importance of personal branding and how young people can begin building professional confidence and credibility.
Carina Wills, Founder and Managing Director of Pro Apprenticeships, will offer insight into apprenticeship pathways and what employers look for when recruiting emerging talent.
Together, their experiences will help students see that there is no single route to a successful and fulfilling career.
Supporting young people to make confident choices
At Queen’s College, we believe education is about preparing young people for life, not simply examinations.
The Taunton Apprenticeship Evening reflects this commitment by helping students explore the opportunities available beyond the classroom, develop meaningful connections and make informed decisions about their futures.
The event is open to students from across Taunton and the surrounding area, alongside parents and anyone interested in learning more about apprenticeships.
