The Newham Apprenticeship Fair 2025 took place on 12 February at the Old Town Hall, Stratford. Organised by Our Newham Business and Enterprise, this event marked the seventh annual celebration in conjunction with National Apprenticeship Week. 

The fair provided Newham residents and students with an opportunity to explore a diverse range of apprenticeship programs across multiple sectors.

Attendees had the chance to engage directly with representatives from prominent organisations including Barclays, IBM, Deloitte, Transport for London (TFL), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), and the London Ambulance Service and East London university.
