You are invited to take part in the upcoming 'Social Mobility and Apprenticeships Event Series'.
The events are being organised as a partnership between the University of Sussex, University of Brighton, University of Chichester and the Sussex Council of Training Providers.
There will be three events, each with a different focus and audience, that together will seek to explore approaches to supporting equality of opportunity with level six apprenticeship pathways and investigate how we can all work together to engage and support underrepresented groups on their apprenticeship progression journey.
Each event will include research driven presentations delivered by leading sector experts, followed by a panel discussion and round table workshop that will explore practical solutions and opportunities for collaboration. Events will also include networking opportunities, refreshments, and a buffet lunch.
