Open event

The event takes place at the college’s Little Germany Campus on 39-41, Chapel Street, Bradford on Tuesday 8 February, 2pm – 7pm. There is no appointment necessary.

Apprenticeships offer people the chance to achieve their chosen qualification while gaining invaluable work experience and earning a wage.

Sahir’s success

Sahir Khalid studied for a Dental Nursing apprenticeship at Bradford College. He became a key part of the team at Town Hall Dental, Brighouse, with the aim of becoming a dental hygienist. He said: “I chose my apprenticeship because I have always wanted a career that would allow me to help people with their health and confidence. I find it very rewarding to not only ease people’s pain, but to give them a sense of happiness within themselves.”

Such was Sahir’s success that he achieved recognition for his success at Bradford College’s FE Student and Apprenticeship Awards last year.

An apprentice with a lot to offer

William Leung also received recognition, achieving Apprentice of the Year for Engineering at the same awards ceremony. After finishing his A-levels, William decided an engineering apprenticeship would be the route to follow. After beginning at Halifax-based Fan Systems as an apprentice mechanical engineer, he quickly impressed managers who realised he had more to offer. William was given a role of design engineer. He explained: “My apprenticeship allows me to gain qualifications in mechanical engineering whilst gaining invaluable experience working alongside professionals in the industry. “
