Helen Grant MP said: ‘I am hugely excited about the chance the Maidstone Apprenticeship Fair provides to once again bring together hundreds of local school students with the finest apprenticeship employers in the country. We know that this Fair really works both by informing young people about the life changing opportunities which apprenticeships can provide and in linking them up with specific roles. I am really looking forward to finding out what this year’s Fair has to offer.’
