More work prospects

I am especially proud of our Maidstone Apprenticeship Fair which was first organised by myself and my colleague and neighbour Tracey Crouch MP in 2018. It was attended by Skills Minister Anne Milton along with over 600 students from 16 schools across Maidstone and the Weald and Chatham and Aylesford Parliamentary constituencies. 

Since then, I am delighted this has become an annual event and the 2020 apprenticeship fair was the biggest ever, welcoming over 50 employers and nearly 1000 students from across West Kent.
