Young people have the opportunity to be interviewed for apprenticeships in key local sectors every day during National Apprenticeship Week 2022.

Sussex's Youth Employment Hub is hosting a week of events to help people aged 16-25 find opportunities to suit them.

From tomorrow (Monday) to Friday, training providers and employers will be at the hub in Kemptown every day to offer information sessions and interviews for apprenticeship placements.

Different local sectors will be featured each day, including construction, health and social care, business administration and hospitality.

The Youth Employment Hub (YEH) in Kemptown's Montague Place is a dedicated and relaxed space for access to career advice and education and training at any time.
