National Apprenticeship Week is a yearly celebration of all things apprenticeships. It’s a perfect opportunity to shout about the amazing work apprentices do every day across the country, in organisations big and small.

Apprenticeship providers use the week as an opportunity to showcase what they have to offer people at the start of their careers. Similarly, apprentice employers look to show potential apprentices what their organisations can offer people in terms of development and career progression.

It’s a chance for organisations and individuals to tackle the stigma surrounding apprenticeships and correct common misconceptions to show it’s an outstanding route into a range of careers.
