The National Apprenticeship Show Wednesday 22nd November 2023

Our careers teacher, Mr Kelly led another engaging trip for Trinity Academy Newcastle Upper Site learners. The National Apprenticeship Show for the North East was held at the Utlitia Arena in Newcastle.  The KS4 learners grasped the opportunity and fully engaged in the experience.

They visited every single stall including the British Army, RAF, Newcastle College, Arnold Clark, BBC, British Engines, Careers in Racing,  Direct Skills, DXC technology, Education Partnership North East, Egger UK, Essity, Ford & Slater, Forestry Commission, GL Education, Greene King, KPMG, Loving Hospitality, Marston’s PLC, Middlesbrough College Group. Mitchells & Butlers, NASC, NCS, Nissan, Northern Powergrid, Northumberland County Council, Premier inn, Rate My Apprenticeship, Woodspeen Training Ltd, Zenith Training, and Zentia. Phew, that was a lot! The learners had such an enjoyable experience that every Year 11 learner asked to go again next year

Hopefully the pictures demonstrate some of the invaluable experience learners took away from the event. Learners managed to secure lots of prizes, including power banks, water bottles, pens, pencils, sweets and popcorn.

Spotting that no learners where facing the challenge of the climbing wall, Mr Kelly proposed a prize for any that reached the top. The learners instantly morphed into spiderman and scrambled to the top!
