More than 30 employers and training providers from across the city will be at the event to showcase apprenticeships in engineering, hairdressing, construction, business admin, finance, health and social care, child care, nursing, management, and other sectors.
Councillor John Reynolds, City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Economy, said: “We work closely with city partners to develop apprenticeship opportunities across the city.
“The council itself employs a number of apprentices in a variety of departments and it has proved a very successful way to recruit staff.
"We have an ambitious long-term plan to encourage enterprise, empower people, reinvigorate our city and improve the prosperity of businesses and residents - and this event supports that.
“We're optimistic about the future of the city. It is a great place to live, learn and work."
Information will also be available on the higher/degree level apprenticeship, along with advanced and intermediate opportunities.
