National Apprenticeship Week
Between February 8th – 14th we will be bringing the whole apprenticeship community together to celebrate the impact of apprenticeships on individuals, employers, and the economy. Across the week you and your students will have the opportunity to hear from employers, previous apprentices, and current apprentices regarding their first-hand experiences.
We’re delighted to have secured speakers from the likes of PricewaterhouseCoopers, PM Training, Siemens and Perkins, who will be able to provide a detailed insight into the apprenticeship journey and how they can support the development of young people.
Across the week there will be on average 3 live sessions per day which will cover a range of topics such as employment prospects, how to secure an apprenticeship, and the impacts that apprentices make to the industry. More information about each session will be released early in the new year.
