Join us for the BIG Apprentice Meet Up 2

07/06/2023

Following the overwhelming success of our inaugural event last year, Investors in People and the Association of Apprentices are proud to present The BIG Apprentice Meet Up 2; a 2 part event taking place on Friday 7th July, at the iconic Guildhall London.

We’re inviting you, current and recently completed apprentices, to our largest professional networking event yet.

You will have the chance to spend the afternoon at the Guildhall, hearing from influential keynote speakers and take part in workshop-style development sessions… all before cementing new relationships over drinks and canapés. With the opportunity to meet other apprentices AND learn a thing or two as well… well let’s just say we’re expecting this event to be VERY popular.

Doors open from 1pm , and until 4, Apprentices will fill the Livery Hall for an afternoon of learning and self-development with expert speakers, as well as taking part in a few activities – there will be some great opportunities to break the ice with other attendees while possibly counting towards your off-the-job training!

From 4 till 7, Apprentices will move to the Crypts – the largest surviving medieval crypts in London, where the focus is networking. This is where the canapés and drinks come in, plus we’ll have some great music to keep the energy up and the room buzzing!

Can’t make it to the whole event? Don’t worry, you can choose which part you sign up for! If you want to come for the development session but need to shoot off after, that’s cool! If you want to just come for the late afternoon networking, great! And if you want to come for both – well then that’s music to our ears!
