Monday 10th – Sunday 16th February 2025

During National Apprenticeship Week 2025, we celebrated the success of apprenticeships, whilst encouraging more people to consider apprenticeships as their pathway to a great career!

We had an exciting week of activity, showcasing our current apprentices, promoting apprenticeship opportunities to both young people and adults, and demonstrating how employers can benefit from employing an apprentice.
