Do you want to work with animals but are not sure how to get started? Or maybe you need some help finding an animal care apprenticeship or understanding what it is employers are looking for. If this sounds like you, then you’re in luck as The College of Animal Welfare are holding an Animal Care Apprenticeship Recruitment Day for those looking to work in the animal care industry. The event will be held at our Leeds centre on Thursday 22 November 2018 from 10am-3pm and is free for anyone aged 16 or over to attend!
We understand that many people may want to work with animals but just aren’t sure which path to go down or what the best qualification for them might be. Luckily this is where we come in!
Throughout the day you will:
- Start your job search: Take a look at where you can find animal care apprenticeship vacancies and look at the current apprenticeship vacancies advertised by The College of Animal Welfare. And what’s more, you will get the chance to apply for a job on the day if there are any vacancies that match your skillset and interests!
- Develop your interview skills: Look at the best ways to answer common interview questions, make a list of things that you should (and shouldn’t) ask at an interview, know how best to present yourself and put it all into action with a mock interview!
- Get a CV to take away with you: Get advice on what to include that will be sure to show off your strengths. You’ll also get to leave the day with your own CV typed up for you to ensure you’re application ready!
- Determine your levels of Maths and English: You’ll undertake basic skills assessments which will help to determine your current working levels and where you can find additional support if needed.
- Find out what employers really want: Since we work with employers every day, we’ve gained a good idea about what employers want and we want to share these with you in order to give you a head start!
So, whether you’ve just finished school and are looking into careers with animals, or are just looking for a change of career, an animal care apprenticeship could be the perfect move for you!
