SPARK – The Apprenticeship Marketplace
Welcome to SPARK - matchmaking for future degree apprentices and local industry employers.
SPARK is a matchmaking opportunity which gives future apprentices the chance to be interviewed by employers for a Degree Apprenticeship, allowing you to build a skilled team by connecting with the talent of the future. SPARK is a free apprenticeship marketplace that is open to all recruiters from any sector who are looking to promote Degree Apprenticeship job opportunities or work trials which may lead to a full-time Apprenticeship.
Recruit the best future talent
SPARK is designed to be a speed pitching session where employers get to meet one-to-one with potential apprentices. Participating is an excellent opportunity for you to raise your profile and speak with potential candidates face-to-face on a more meaningful level than through an application form or a CV. You’ll then be able to determine face-to-face whether a candidate is a good fit for your company’s culture and goals thereby significantly shortening the screening process. You’ll also be able to judge the pitches and award your opportunity to the potential apprentices who impress the most.
