Event Highlights Apprenticeship Benefits

The SFHA (Scottish Federation of Housing Associations) is holding a free one-day conference for employers to highlight the importance of apprenticeships to the future of the housing sector and the benefits they can bring to organisations and businesses. 

April's event will feature expert speakers who will detail every stage of recruiting and managing apprentices. Sessions will explore funding and recruitment processes, reasons for recruiting apprentices and what it is like to be an apprentice.

It will also see the return of the SFHA's Apprentice Challenge, a competition for young people from SFHA member housing associations and co-operatives from across Scotland.

The challenge will run throughout the conference, with entrants delivering a presentation which answers questions based on real issues in the housing sector.

The event takes places at the City of Glasgow College's Riverside Campus on 12 April. Registration begins at 9.30am and the conference concludes with the SFHA Apprentice Challenge.

It is open to SFHA members as well as non-members and is being delivered in partnership with CMS windows.
