Following a successful launch last year, the CII is once again running a series of regional events for apprentices. As well as providing a variety of perspectives on apprenticeships, these half-day sessions will give participants the opportunity to work in groups, preparing a presentation on a topical issue.  A panel of industry experts will observe apprentices during the task, and those who perform best will be invited to attend a national finale event in London in November.
