A few words from the Cabinet Member...
Councillor Nigel Cooke, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Housing, said: "If you're looking for the opportunity to make a real difference and follow a stimulating and rewarding career, then an apprenticeship could be the ideal first step for you.
"Working life is completely different to being in school or university and an apprenticeship is a way of easing you into that environment whilst having people around to guide you along the way.
"Not only does an apprenticeship give you the opportunity to learn and experience your chosen career, it also makes you more employable to future companies. Apprenticeships can be for anyone and any age, they're not just for school leavers. So pop along on Friday and check out these 150 great opportunities."
