Employers and future apprentices: join University of Suffolk to explore careers, skills and opportunities during National Apprenticeship Week.

We welcome employers to promote their career opportunities and apprenticeship routes within their organisation or if you are an employer who wants to offer apprenticeships but don’t know where to start. Our Business Engagement and Apprenticeship team will be available and can support you.

We also welcome those interested who are exploring next steps, thinking of a new career path, or wanting to upskill in their current role through an apprenticeship. Come and speak to organisations and the University of Suffolk to explore what higher and degree apprenticeships the University of Suffolk have available, as well as our local Further Education Colleges and support services available in Suffolk.

Attend sector-specific insights from:

  • Sizewell C careers – construction, project management and more
  • East Suffolk Council careers – Environmental health practitioner and more
  • ESNEFT careers – Nursing Associate, Registered Nursing and Assistant Practitioner

You’ll also be among the first to hear about our new Level 6 Early Years Teaching Degree apprenticeship launching in September 2026* (*subject to validation). Hear from our course team about this upcoming programme, how early years settings can offer this to new or existing staff, and how to sign up for our September 2026 cohort. 

Please join us in celebrating apprenticeships during National Apprenticeship Week 2026 and showcasing career opportunities available in Suffolk.

All are welcome, you will be provided with refreshments and complimentary goodie bag.
