Apprenticeship Bus
Led By: Simon Ingram – Managing Director, Mountjoy
and Chloe Bolton – Enterprise & Skills Executive (Careers), Portsmouth City Council
Every year, the Apprenticeship Bus embarks on a roadshow across the city of Portsmouth, bringing apprentices from local businesses and organisations directly to senior schools.
This initiative enables Year 10-11 students an opportunity to engage with apprentices, face to face, providing them with an authentic, first-hand insight into the world of an apprenticeship.
