WHICH WAY NOW?
MetroCentre Saturday 2nd July 2011
Members of The Gateshead Collective, a partnership of work-based learning companies, actively promoting Appenticeships, held an awareness event at The MetroCentre and ITEC’s stand was enthusiastically manned by ‘The A Team’. the full day event generated interest from local 16 - 18 year olds who had received mail shots promoting the event and the huge range of career opportunities on show. Some visitors to The MetroCentre for a spot of retail therapy, gained some careers advice as an unexpected bonus!!!
