The National Apprenticeship Awards celebrate their nineteenth anniversary in 2022. They have achieved great success over these years, challenging the nation’s top apprenticeship employers and apprentices to come forward and show how apprenticeships have made a real difference to their organisation.
The National Apprenticeship Awards applications will open in May/June 2022.
The Awards will be celebrated at virtual regional ceremonies (TBC) and a hybrid national award ceremony. The national finalists will celebrate their success and be recognised in November/December 2022.
The Awards are designed to promote excellence in apprenticeships as:
• National Apprenticeship Awards recognise the crucial role skills play in Building Back Better.
• Entering is a real opportunity for employers and individuals to gain the recognition they richly deserve for building the national skills base.
• The Apprenticeship Awards winners will have the honour of celebrating their success at a decorative event in London.
The Department for Education (DfE) is inviting you to tender to support the Awards team in line with the National Apprenticeship Awards strategy and targets.
