Orange Metal Fabrication Information Session
Due to the fact that students are unable to go on tours of local industries our local RIEP representative has organised a Zoom meeting with four Orange employers from the Metal Fabrication Industry – eg. Whittaker Contracting and PJL Group.
Each employer or apprentice will have 5-7 mins each and will address the following questions:
- What does your business do?
- How did you get your start in the industry?
- What do you look for when employing people?
- Do you take students for work experience?
- When and how do you advertise for your apprentices?
There will be plenty of opportunities for students to ask questions.
Date: Tuesday 18th August
Time: 1:00 – 1:40pm
If you are interested let Mrs Jones know and I will share with you the zoom link.
