SPARK 2026 is a speed-pitch matchmaking event which will help match degree apprentices with regional employers.

Join fellow degree apprentices and employers at our free event on Thursday 23 April 2026. SPARK 2026: The Apprenticeship Marketplace matches the right apprentices with the right opportunities.

Employers and apprentices will get the chance to take part in a ‘speed interview’ to finding new recruits for regional businesses.

Degree Apprenticeships allow people to earn while they learn. They are available in a variety of subject areas, including:

  • Engineering
  • Digital marketing
  • Digital and technology solutions
  • Legal and justice 
  • Chartered management

All attendees interested in Degree Apprenticeship opportunities must be registered and approved onto our Apprenticeship Matching Service. Please find more information on our Apprenticeship Matching Service webpage.
