To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week (10–16 February), ABDO College is running three ‘Introduction to apprenticeships’ webinars to help guide and inform prospective students and employers interested in this new pathway to becoming a dispensing optician.
The key concepts behind apprenticeships will be introduced as well as the similarities and differences to traditional pathways. The webinars will run through Microsoft Teams to allow interaction and conversation – and are open to all.
Laura Stratton, ABDO College apprenticeships manager, said: “As the apprenticeship manager at ABDO College, I have witnessed first-hand the incredible impact that a well structured apprenticeship can have. Apprenticeships offer a unique blend of practical experience and academic learning, giving individuals the skills and confidence to excel in their careers.
“For those looking to pursue a career as a dispensing optician, ABDO College provides the perfect environment to thrive. With expert guidance, industry connections and a supportive learning community, our apprenticeship programmes equip learners with the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to succeed in this rewarding field.
