GLOUCESTERSHIRE'S biggest apprenticeship and careers event returns to Gloucester Rugby Club on March 5.

Skillsfest 2013 will bring together businesses, schools, young people, parents and training providers to find out about apprenticeships and career opportunities.

Skillsfest 2012 was attended by more than 1,300 individuals including 440 school children and this year plans to be bigger and better. There will also be a range of advice and guidance workshops for schools, a chance to meet the apprentice and Q & A session for parents and carers as well as the chance to get some hands-on experience of new skills, from engineering to writing press releases.

The event will run from 9.30am until 6.30pm at Gloucester Rugby Club, Kingsholm, Gloucester, GL1 3AX.
