With a chance to meet apprentices face-to-face, after the pitches, businesses may offer a work placement trial leading to a degree apprenticeship.
Martin Blunt, head of enterprise and engagement at the university, said: “SPARK is a fantastic opportunity for employers to uncover emerging talent and invest in their future workforce.
“By bringing ambitious apprentices and businesses together, the event supports skills development, business growth and innovation across industries.
“With nearly 200 enthusiastic apprentices expected to attend, employers really can take their pick of the talent on offer.”
