It is National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) and welcome to our homepage of everything NAW2020!

The whole apprenticeship community comes together this week to celebrate the ‘Look Beyond’ theme and the impact of apprenticeships on employers, individuals, local communities and the economy.

For the next five days we will be adding to the articles below, busting myths, highlighting successes and also showcasing some employers who work with us and fantastic apprentices who train with us.

So please keep looking back at this page, and our social media, throughout the week to find out what we’re doing and why we are proud to provide the earn-as-you-learn alternative to complement our traditional training routes.
