A new 'have-a-go' skills academy aimed at showcasing career options to apprentices opens in Birmingham tomorrow.
The Ladder Skills Academy will give people the chance to learn more about careers in sectors such as health and social care, hospitality, engineering, manufacturing, professional services and IT by attending information sessions where they can actually gain some hands-on experience within their chosen field.
Areas have been set up in the building to mimic a workplace including a fully working kitchen so those interested in hospitality can learn how to serve, use a barista coffee machine, practice customer service and dress a table. There is also a dental surgery with a chair and equipment for those keen to learn about dentistry.
