With our partners at Manchester Metropolitan University and supported by GMCA we are hosting the AoA's Spring Flagship #Apprentice Meetup.

As always, we will be organising some amazing speakers, fun games, and the opportunity to network and make friends with other apprentices. This will be a great opportunity to notch up some Continued Professional Development hours!

This event is FREE for all apprentices and those who have just completed an Apprenticeship.

The event runs from 1pm – 7pm which will include the development and networking sessions. There is also an option to register solely for the networking session 4-7pm. Refreshments will be provided.

Sign up now* to avoid disappointment and do share this event with your apprentice friends and colleagues.

If you would like to gain a little presentation experience, please contact us as early as you can and we may be able to offer you the opportunity to deliver a short talk on the day.

This is going to be an amazing, memorable event. We will be taking lots of photos, so make yourself known to a member of staff if you don’t wish to be included.

*please sign up using your work email address.
