The National Apprenticeship Awards, now in its 14th Year, are designed to challenge top apprenticeship employers and apprentices across England to come forward and show how apprenticeships have made a real difference to their organisation and careers.
The awards are run by the National Apprenticeship Service and recognise excellence in 3 areas:
- businesses that grow their own talent with apprenticeships
- apprentices who have made a significant contribution to their workplaces
- former apprentices or those who champion apprenticeships
