Showplace is proud to offer apprenticeships within our operations department, encouraging young people to gain new skills and learn more about the event solutions sector.
Each apprentice will register for the Supply Chain Warehouse Operative Level 2 Standard Course, in which they will carry out a range of moving, packaging and stock-taking roles within our operations team. This 15-month course provides the opportunity to learn valuable skills such as conducting risk assessments, learning the importance of sustainability within the supply chain, operating specialised tools and equipment, and many more.
At the end of the course, all candidates are required to complete an End-Point Assessment (EPA), allowing them to demonstrate their new knowledge and expertise. Upon successful completion of the EPA, candidates will have the opportunity to accept full-time employment at Showplace, further developing their abilities in the operations sector.
At present, three apprentices have enrolled at Showplace to learn more about the operations within the events sector. Among this cohort, one candidate has been taken on full-time, another has been offered full-time employment upon completion of their EPA, and our most recent candidate is currently in the process of completing their course.
Here at Showplace, we are delighted to take part in the apprenticeship scheme to act as a starting point for young people navigating their future career paths. We hope to inspire the next generation of event industry professionals and look forward to witnessing each candidate’s future achievements throughout their learning journey.
