The one aimed at school and college leavers, or career changers, showcasing more apprenticeship vacancies, is in March. It was last held on Tuesday 11 March 2025 at York Barbican, between 1.00pm and 6.00pm.

All ages were welcome from York and North Yorkshire to find out about apprenticeship opportunities and job vacancies, as well as re-skilling and up-skilling.

Year 11 Apprenticeship Taster Day

Every year in January, Year 11 students in York get a chance to try out different education or training options, helping them to decide on their next steps after secondary school.

This year, there was an offer of a Construction Taster Day, where students had a day at Sisk’s York Central site, along with Caddick, Simpson and Equans, and were introduced to the many different careers in construction and learned how to apply for apprenticeships and T Levels.

Find more information about construction-related apprenticeships or contact us.

For more information regarding taster days speak to your careers adviser at school or your Head of Year 11.
