The roadshows, organised by Worcestershire County Council, will provide young people aged 15 to 24 with advice and support from Worcestershire businesses, training, and education providers.

Last year, thousands of young people attended the events, exploring apprenticeships, traineeships, further education, and employment opportunities.

Judy Gibbs, head of skills and investment at Worcestershire County Council and director of skills for Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership, said: "This year we’re celebrating the tenth anniversary of Worcestershire Apprenticeships plus the launch of brand-new career hubs in Redditch and Kidderminster, so it’s a great year to once again double up on the Careers Worcestershire Careers and Apprenticeship Roadshows.

"We’re passionate about giving Worcestershire’s young adults the best start in life, and these events help to do just that.

"They give everyone the opportunity to explore their options, whether that’s further education, apprenticeships, or starting a career journey.

"We can connect them directly to the right people that can guide them towards making the best choices for their future."

Councillor Adam Kent, cabinet member for economy and skills at the council, said: "Skills and employment lie at the very core of our corporate plan, and events like these are key in empowering people with the tools they need to thrive.

"As a parent, I deeply appreciate the significance of such events—my own daughter chose a degree apprenticeship to kickstart her career and I started my career via a youth training scheme in the 80s."
